Spotlight Series Exclusively for FLAEYC Members
Introducing FLAEYC Member: Dr. Teresa McKay
Dr. Teresa "Teri" McKay became a FLAEYC member to gain access to networking opportunities and to help her learn, grow and contribute to the the Early Learning Profession. She has been in the Early Childhood Education field for 42 years and has enjoyed watching students grow and make connections between learning and applying their knowledge. Dr. McKay believes that one of the biggest issues facing the early childhood profession is the lack of high quality professionals that serve our kids. And she is actively doing something about it! Dr. McKay is a regular volunteer with FLAEYC and active participant in the Statewide Advocacy Chapter/Coalition and a member of the 2022 Florida State Team at the NAEYC Public Policy Forum.

Dr. McKay has many hobbies she enjoys while she is not serving our youth. She loves scrapbooking and enjoys making all kinds of paper crafts. She is also a Disney fanatic and loves the Beatles! Her favorite Childhood book is "The Tales of Babar the Elephant." But she believes one of the most influential books of today is Robert Munsch's "Love You Forever" because of how it depicts love throughout a child's life.
