Employee of the Month

Picture
October employee of the month is Debby Doughery.

Debby has been part of our team for 2.5 years and currently works in the Chipmunks, which is our middle two-year-olds. She has a bachelor's degree in Early childhood Education with a kindergarten endorsement from Ball State University.

Debby shared that what she enjoys most about the children is the fun conversations she gets to have with them. She also loves all of the hugs she gets each morning when she arrives to start her day.  Debby thinks it is funny when parents come to her to share that they have to play Polly Panda at home. The children will imitate Debby reading a story (holding books open and to the side, with parents sitting on the floor and the children sitting in the chair.) 

Debby has a true knack for working with the two-year-old’s.  She is great at engaging with them during their playtime and having great conversations with them throughout the day.  Debby is invested in each child that is in her classroom and takes great pride in meeting their needs.

When Debby isn’t hanging out with her Chipmunks she enjoys going to the movies, eating lots of junk food and reading. Please take a moment and jot a note to Debby congratulating her on being the October employee of the month.
