During her high school years, Taushau Wilkinson dedicated her summers to volunteering at Learning Together, a developmental day center situated on the campus of Dix Park (formerly Dorotha Dix). This invaluable experience eventually led to her initial employment opportunity as the Lead Teacher of the “Petunias” (ages 18 months to 3 years) at Learning Together. Since then, Taushau’s passion for early childhood education has remained steadfast, and she is grateful to be able to continue this important work here at Wake County Smart Start as the Pre-K Team Lead.
