It all started when Cathy Estes and Cheryl Couch put their heads together. It has ended with a rare opportunity for students who want a career in early education to have more access to academics and hands-on work experience. Estes is service coordinator at Sunflower’s Early Education Center (EEC) and Couch is instructor/coordinator of early childhood at Barton Community College.
