KLRU Salutes Central Texas Child Care Providers
Lisa Weidknecht, is a nationally accredited childcare professional. She has been in the business over 20 years. She provides home-based childcare for 18-month to 5-year old children. She enjoys working with a mixed age group because they learn so much from one another. Lisa creates a language-rich environment for children and she gives them opportunities to select centers for themselves. Congratulations to Lisa Weidknecht for being selected as an outstandting caregiver in Central Texas.
