In February of 2007 we lost a dear friend, colleague, child advocate, founding board member, benefactor and the second president of the California Kindergarten Association, Dr. Violet Robinson.
One of Dr. Robinson’s major contributions to the association and to its members was that of editor of the association’s journal entitled, Kindergarten Education: Theory, Research and Practice, published from 1996 to 2001. Unfortunately, several years ago we had to discontinue the publishing of the journal due to a major decrease in revenue and the increased cost of publishing such a document. Dr. Robinson was a firm believer in the importance of research. She often stated that as a professional, statewide association we had a responsibility to provide our members with authentic research about the education and development of young children.
As a result of rethinking how we can disseminate such information in an every changing technological era, the Board of Directors of CKA is moving to provide its members once again with original research as an honor to Dr. Vi Robinson. We hope that such research will lead to discussion, reflection and professional growth to all that read it.
In Unity, Armando Wm. Argandona Acting Editor
