My name is Mary Skousen-Radford and I have been a Professor of Child Development at Los Angeles City College since 2000. I greatly enjoy my job, and hope that I communicate this enthusiasm in your classes.

These are some things that you might want to know about me. I graduated from Pacific Oaks College with my M.A in Human Development, my BA from Cal State Los Angeles, and my AA from Pasadena City College. I worked for 7 years in preschool programs in the Pasadena area, 6 years as a middle school science teacher and more than 20 years as a Professor of Child Development 

I have a deep commitment to working with children, developmentally appropriate practices, and Constructivism as a teaching/learning model. I am an extremely hard worker, probably because I enjoy working so much.

I have three adult children, and two grandchildren, who have been my greatest teachers. I enjoy traveling during the summers and designing houses and yardscapes and restoring old houses with my husband.

I have been working in Early Childhood Education for over thirty years.  I have worked with children from birth to age 7 as a toddler and preschool teacher, developmental kindergarten teacher, kindergarten-1st grade teacher at a charter school, and parent educator.  The schools I have worked at have followed a Humanistic philosophy, which means we look at the whole child with an emphasis on social/emotional development.

Since 2010, I have taught higher education at Santa Monica College, UCLA Extension, Los Angeles City College, West Los Angeles College, and Southwest Los Angeles College. And as of 2023, I am a full-time professor at LACC! I have a BA and MA in Human Development from Pacific Oaks College and an Adult School Credential with an emphasis in Parent Education from UCLA Extension. I serve as the chair of the SCC-CAAEYC committee PlayMatters!, where we advocate for play in children's lives.  

On a personal level, I love swimming, yoga, hiking, traveling, and cooking plant-based meals.  I have a husband, Fred, and two adult children in their 20s, Spencer and Marlena, and we have two new rescue dogs named Casanova and Betty.
