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:
“I think the most important education that we have is the education which now I am glad to say is being accepted as the proper one, and one which ought to be widely diffused, that industrial, vocational education which puts young men and women in a position from which they can by their own efforts work themselves to independence.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“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)
“Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
