Juanita Griffin
Lead Teacher Toddler (Panda) classroom.I have been teaching for 18 years now, and I still wake up with as much joy to teach as I did when I first started. I pride myself on being a creative, talented individual with a lot to offer in the classroom. The first years are the most impressionable years. Whatever we put into children is what they become, so it is important to build self esteem and character early. When children start at Doctor Daycare they may not know a lot, when they leave—they can conquer anything!

Kids keep you thinking and help you to be more creative. I love making memories with the children that I teach that will last a lifetime. I love working at Doctor Daycare because the staff and my co-workers are so friendly. Everyone is always laughing and smiling which makes for a great work environment.
April Strozier
Assistant Teacher Pre-K classroomI have been working with children since 2008 from ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. I love seeing children develop a sense of self while matriculating through life and I am grateful to be a part of that. I love working at Doctor Daycare because they allow us to be expressive and really give us the opportunity to help shape the young minds of our future.
Kawanna Smith
Lead teacher Infant classroomI have been working with children for over ten years. I started working with children at my church summer camp and then again later at the church’s academy and have been working in childcare ever since. What I love most about working with children is the positive influence you can have on their life at a young age. What I love most about working at Doctor Daycare is the exciting atmosphere. Although we do have rules that we have to follow we still have fun and it’s a welcoming and exciting environment.
Starr Bennett
Lead Teacher Pre-K classroomI have been teaching for about four years now and I thoroughly enjoy it. Although the job is challenging at times, I honestly could not see myself doing anything other than working with children. They motivate me to be better, and I motivate them to do their best. In my first years of teaching I experienced many different types of children, so I found myself reading dozens of books on the best child care practices so that I could learn how to create a safe environment for kids to learn and grow in. What I love most about Doctor Daycare is their low student to teacher ratios. It allows me to work one on one with all of my students which encourages greater student participation.

Assistant Teacher Toddler (Panda) classroomI’ve only been teaching for three months, however I do have a one year old daughter and I am pregnant with my second child. I have always had a passion to teach and prepare children for the next level in life and believe the best way to help is to start while their minds are young. I love working with children because every day is different. You never know what to expect, and they always keep you on your toes. I love working at Doctor Daycare because we are a small close nit family and we always work together to help each child grow!

What I love most about working with children is watching them do something new for the first time. I love the staff here. Everyone seems to really care and enjoy their job. It makes for a happy work environment.

The staff is wonderful, and they take their job seriously while still managing to keep it pleasant.
