Biographie de Maureen Boddy
About Maureen:Maureen Boddy was born in England in 1945. She passed a scholarship and attended a prestigious Convent School for Girls, in Darlington, England. She studied Pre Primary teaching (NNEB) and opened a private school where the focus was on teaching children through praise, and encouragement, to achieve more than the regular curriculum, e.g. 3 year old children could read basic words and simple books, using the Glenn Doman method.
