My name is Lena Wright, and I have over 25 years of experience in the field of education. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to working with children of all ages and developmental stages, with a strong focus on those with special needs and behavioral challenges.
I currently serve as the Assistant Director of Footprints Learning Center, where I lead with a deep commitment to inclusive practices, early childhood development, and the empowerment of both children and educators. In this role, I am passionate about fostering a nurturing, supportive environment where every child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to grow.
Over the years, I’ve served in various roles—ranging from classroom teacher and curriculum coordinator to behavioral support specialist. These experiences have shaped my ability to lead with empathy, build meaningful connections with families, and support staff. And develop an appropriate learning environment.
My philosophy is grounded in the belief that every child deserves a space that promotes curiosity, emotional resilience, and confidence. I am especially committed to incorporating outdoor learning, and hands-on discovery into early education. As a lifelong learner, I continue to advocate for best practices that serve the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally.
It is my mission to guide and support our team as we work together to build a community where children, families, and educators can thrive.
