Anita Uphaus has been an early childhood master educator for over 40 years. As a classroom teacher and later director of early childhood for Austin ISD, Anita led the way for both the expansion of all-day high-quality kindergarten and then high-quality Prekindergarten across one of the largest Texas school districts.
