Madore holds a degree in business administration and has spent fifteen years working in marketing and business management. For two school years, Madore worked at a Minneapolis charter school and took public transportation to work. She is a graduate of Partners in Policymaking through the Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities.
Madore and her two children have lived in Apple Valley for 19 years. Madore and her young family moved to Apple Valley, Minnesota from Boston in 1991. Impressed with the local Early Childhood and Family Education (ECFE) program, she quickly became a volunteer for that and many other important community interests. When both of her children were subsequently diagnosed with disabilities, Madore began undertaking disability advocacy.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Infants and young children are not just sitting twiddling their thumbs, waiting for their parents to teach them to read and do math. They are expending a vast amount of time and effort in exploring and understanding their immediate world. Healthy education supports and encourages this spontaneous learning.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“A good education ought to help people to become both more receptive to and more discriminating about the world: seeing, feeling, and understanding more, yet sorting the pertinent from the irrelevant with an ever finer touch, increasingly able to integrate what they see and to make meaning of it in ways that enhance their ability to go on growing.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
