Barbara Henry
Director of People and Operations
Barbara is new to the early education profession. She has been a parent at Future Generation for the past nine years and is thrilled to make the transition to a member of center administration! Barbara is very passionate about contributing to the early education field and helping parents and children flourish in our program. Barbara is the proud mother of a nine-year-old son!
"As a parent, I did not realize the empowering meaning behind the term early educator. The minute I began the on-boarding process, I started to clearly see how much training, knowledge, and responsibility went along with working in an early education program! I now share the passion and the purpose of trying to help others see how important the words we use are and how they can affect others so deeply."
Felicia Smith
Director, Bloomfield Center
Felicia is a mother of two adult children, both attended Future Generation and now one of them is a co-worker! Future Generation became Felicia's home 27 years ago.

She obtained her Child Care Professional Certification, and later her bachelor's degree in early childhood. She often reflects on how her first tour of the Future Generation facility made her feel,
"I was able to fully understand what the term quality early education meant- I watched it come to life in front of me. I knew that I wanted to be a part of a team that was changing the lives of children."
