Meet Margaret Smith, Easterseals Charter School Principal. Margaret oversees the Charter School programming at Easterseals Northeast Central Florida locations in Daytona Beach and DeLand.
 
For Margaret, building trusting relationships with Easterseals families through leading the Charter Schools is Job Number One.
 
“My goal is ongoing collaboration to assist families,” she said. “I want to be known as being an effective leader that always puts the needs of our children first.”
 
As a leader within the Easterseals family, Margaret strives to be known by others as visible, available, approachable and collaborative.
 
“One advantage to working in a team-focused environment is that I am always being surrounded by team members who want the best for our students,” she said. “The collaboration and motivation to do what is best for our children is at the forefront of all our decisions."
 
“Having a ‘Kids First’ philosophy means that we work with children and families to meet each child’s individual needs,” she added. “We collaborate with families to provide tools needed to shape the future of our early learners.”
 
Margaret said she’s grown personally and professionally watching Easterseals teachers learn new strategies and apply them to the students.
