Molly McNally Dunn
	National Training Associate

Molly McNally Dunn has been an advocate for the school-age child for thirty years. This passion began professionally as an elementary teacher in Massachusetts and in New York. She then journeyed to early childhood care and education as a nutrition consultant to family child care providers and a teacher for pre-licensing of family child care homes in Colorado. She has worked in both the private and public sectors and currently administers sixteen school-based school-age care programs for Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood, Colorado.

Molly is a consultant and trainer for the Colorado Department of Education for school-age care. In this capacity she has provided technical assistance to programs throughout the state. She has presented workshops on school-age care throughout the country.

Molly serves on the Board of Colorado Alliance for Quality School Age Programs (CAQSAP) and has served on CAEYC and NSACA. She has created and facilitated a multi-agency study group of school-age site directors, and a grant linking the school day with out-of-school time in fostering literacy with school-age programs.

Molly’s most recent venture is with the Colorado Department of Education. She works closely with principals and teachers strategizing with the SACC professionals to support children’s learning in schools.
