Employees Of The Month
The Employee of the month for June is Paige Wetherbee.
Ms. Paige is one of the teachers in our Teddy Bear classroom, which is our youngest two’s room. She joined our team 1.5 years ago and does an excellent job of helping the children adjust to being a two-year-old.
She shared that the most rewarding part of her job is watching the kids grow into their own personalities. Ms. Paige loves seeing them learn new things and then use those skills during their time together. Her kiddos have taught her how to be a more patient, kind, and appreciative person. She loves getting to spend her days caring for and learning along side each child in her care. Ms. Paige welcomes the children each morning with a smile on her face and is always ready to offer her lap if someone needs extra cuddle time during drop-off time. Ms. Paige has a down-to-earth easy-going personality that makes her a natural to work with the busy two-year-olds.
When Ms. Paige isn’t moving and grooving with her Teddy Bears, she enjoys spending time with her family and spending as much time outside as possible. Please join us in thanking Ms. Paige for all her hard work she does with our twos.
