Whereas Mildred Winter began her remarkable career as an educator and leader as
a teacher in the Berkeley and Ferguson-Florissant School Districts in

education services to Missouri families and children improved and
increased dramatically;
Whereas Mildred Winter was a leader in initiating the Parents as Teachers
program in Missouri in 1981 to address the critical problem of children
entering school in need of special help;
Whereas the Parents as Teachers program gives all parents, regardless of social
or economic circumstances, the support and guidance necessary to be
their children's best teachers in the critical early years;
Whereas Mildred Winter worked to secure passage in the Missouri General Assembly

numerous prestigious awards at the State and national level;
Whereas today there are over 2,200 Parents as Teachers programs in 49 States,
the District of Columbia, and 6 other countries;
Whereas while continually striving to move the Parents as Teachers program
forward, in 1995 Mildred Winter recognized the importance of sharing
with parents what is known about early brain development and the role
parents play in promoting that development in their children, and used
this foresight to develop the vanguard Born to Learn Curriculum; and
Whereas after nearly 2 decades of leadership of the Parents as Teachers program,
Mildred Winter has chosen to step down as Executive Director of the
organization: Now, therefore, be it
