Haefele Tribute to Early-Childhood Icon, Docia Zavitkovsky
Docia Zavitkovsky – a Westsider who died on Christmas Eve -- spent more than 70 of her 96 years working with the very young. She became a national treasure of infant lore and practice. Her ideas informed Head Start and earned her a devoted following, including Off-Ramp commentator Marc Haefele.
