OP \/ ED BY ANDREA DIALECT<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always had the desire to work in Early Education, and I wanted to own a childcare center. The very first school that I purchased, my parents took out a second mortgage on their home in order for me to make that purchase. I know that I meant the world to my parents, and when they passed away, they took a piece of me, a large piece, a piece of my heart. They were my solid ground, my foundation.\u201d – Dr. Wright<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I glanced at the signage while passing the newly renovated building en route to work one afternoon, Dr. Wright immediately popped into my head as a worthy candidate for our Women\u2019s Month Feature this year. Once I made that decision, I went on the hunt the very next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When visiting the first site, I was quite impressed by the level of security, the building aesthetics, her staff\u2019s inviting demeanor, and professionalism. But I was even more impressed by the last spot I visited, where the male admin\/receptionist promptly got my phone ringing in record time. Like Johnny on the spot, Dr. Wright was on that call, and that was indeed impressive also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her dedication to her work, children, community, as a leader, professor, and a businesswoman is indeed worthy of our respect and admiration. Well done, Dr. Wright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STAGE 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea: \u201cDr. Wright, who are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Wright: \u201cI am a child of God first. That\u2019s exactly who I am. I think that God has poured so much into me. To whom much is given, much is required! As a child, I was very spoiled. I am the youngest and only girl. I had three brothers, and I grew up in a generational household, with my grandparents, my mother and father, and my brothers. I received something from each generation, and I was sheltered, which wasn\u2019t a bad thing. I couldn\u2019t often go outside, and if I did, it would be on the porch with my grandparents. They really sheltered me, and it was a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t realize how much I had been sheltered until after I got married. I got married at a young age, twenty-one. I think I got married so young because I wanted to break loose. I saw my friends going out to parties and hanging out, doing things that my parents didn\u2019t allow. I divorced after eight years, and I have been happily married to my current husband for twenty-five years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STAGE 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Children are very intuitive. They know who cares about them and who’s just there. If you show them love, they are going to give that love back.” – Dr. Wright<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, and I attended Malcolm X Shabazz High School. I went off to college as soon as I got out of high school, but I wasn’t ready for college. The district did not prepare me for college, so I took courses at Essex County College. I then went on to Bloomfield College and got my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I obtained my Master’s from Caldwell University in Educational Leadership and pursued my Doctoral Degree from Caldwell University with a minor in Special Education. In doing so, I also received my certification as a School Principal and a School Administrator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy story regarding my pursuit of education is this: I had one of the best preschool teachers ever, Mrs. Washington. The way she made me feel, I wanted to make others feel the same way, and I always said I wanted to do what she was doing. When I left my home, that safe environment with my parents, grandparents, and siblings, and entered another world, that person made me feel so safe and secure. That’s what I wanted to give others. From a very, very young age – I want to say I was five – I knew that was something I wanted to do. I feel that this is why I have a passion for what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut it was my dad who inspired me. I was a daddy\u2019s girl, and he always told me that I gave him bragging rights. So everything I did, I wanted to do it at its best because I needed my dad to brag about me; he was so proud of me. He was an entrepreneur, and they were homeowners way back in the fifties. He owned a bar, and my parents owned a store, a butcher shop. My father also owned a race car, and he would go and race. I just remember him having all these trophies. He always inspired me, and I was in awe of him. He really pushed me to be the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STAGE 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are all unique individuals. I don\u2019t teach from a quality level; I teach from an equity level.\u201d – Dr. Wright<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always had the desire to work in Early Education, and I wanted to own my own childcare center. It’s just that simple; there’s nothing behind it. The very first school that I purchased, my parents took out a second mortgage on their home in order for me to make that purchase. I was twenty-five when I purchased my first childcare center. It was an existing school, and once I purchased it, I opened it with very few students. But within a six-month period, I was at full capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy collaboration with Head Start began around the year 2000. It was 1994 when I opened the first school. When I first started, it was just preschool. After losing my parents, I didn\u2019t trust anyone to watch my children, so I wanted to have infant-toddler care at the facility. I wanted that service to also be available for other women. Also, when I purchased that school, some of the teachers stayed on. I personally interviewed potential teachers and staff, and when I hire a teacher, I am looking for compassion and a passion for what they’re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t just say, \u2018I love working with children.\u2019 Everyone says, \u2018I love children, I love working with children,\u2019 but what happens when working with a child you don\u2019t like? So, I have to know that you have a passion for learning and teaching. You can teach, but you have to be teachable. Being teachable means that you want to learn, so you’re investing in yourself. Those are some of the things that I am looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf a teacher invests in themselves, I know that they\u2019re going to invest in those children. I don\u2019t teach in the classroom, but I do go in to see if they are teaching the curriculum to its fidelity. I need to know that what I am giving you, you’re pouring into these children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I walk into the classroom, I’m looking for certain things. I’m looking to make sure that I can identify different labs in the classroom. Those labs are full of resources. If I go into your dramatic play lab, I need to see dress-up clothes, I need to hear conversation. The teacher must know all the students’ names. A name is very important. I don\u2019t go in to teach, but I go in to make sure that those teachers are teaching those children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI completed my Doctoral Degree about five years ago. I wanted to have everything done before I hit fifty. It was my long term goal was to be a doctor in education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
