Executive Director of Spectrum Station
Jan Powell
Jan Powell has almost twenty years of experience as an early learning and
childcare center director. She has a B.A. in Elementary Education and has
successfully directed three different early learning centers in the northland
area of Kansas City, MO, for a national corporation. A successful early learning
program requires a director with a strong management background as well as
experience in education. Not only does Jan have the educational background
needed, she has worked in a management position since 1979.
Jan's professional qualifications and extensive experience equip her
for her present position as Executive Director of Spectrum Station Early
Learning and Family Resource Center. Her responsibilities as director of the
center include the management of all the center operations. She oversees
staffing and personnel, financial procedures, facility, curriculum and program
development, inservice training of teachers and staff, special activities and
resources for the family as well as bridging the transitions between school and
home.
In addition to her responsibilities as a center director, Jan is very
involved with promoting and fostering community relationships. She conducts
leadership training and workshops for teachers of other early learning
organizations and assists center directors in preparing for the process
necessary for accreditation by the QRS, Missouri’s Quality Rating System.
Achieving this level of excellence for a childcare center is a coveted milestone
in the field of early learning education. She also works closely with the
corporate community to establish collaborative partnerships that ensure ongoing,
quality education for the young child as well as positive interactions with the
parents.
