Jane Sergay

Jane Sergay raised three daughters with her husband Stephen: Amanda, Rebecca, and Samantha. After her children were grown, her time to reflect deepened her insight and broadened her perspectives on the importance of the quality of parenting and the extent of challenges families face as they try to parent effectively and well. Jane developed a parent education program when her children were young and then taught positive parenting skills to groups and individuals. She has continuously focused her work on enhancing the well-being of children and their families. Jane was involved in researching qualities of effective parenting and guiding parents in teaching basic skills to their children with exceptional needs at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She taught classes in child development at Lesley College and directed programs that emphasize parent involvement in the schools at the University of South Florida. Her dedications to raising children and supporting the efforts of others have been central themes for her and continue to be the most treasured and significant accomplishments of her life.
