Success Starts with our Staff

Last Thursday we celebrated the end of the school year and the great job all of our staff does at our 11 child development centers and Babies Can’t Wait. One of our favorite parts of the day is when we recognize a person from each center. They receive an Individual Excellence Award for their commitment to the values ESNG holds true.

This year’s recipients are:

Brookvalley: Shirley Smith, Assistant Teacher

Guice: Linda Kilgore, Teacher

Mansell: Yolanda Carrillo, Assistant Teacher

Premier: Julie Golphin, Teacher

Sylvan Hills: Erica Holmes, Family Support Advocate

Warsaw: Michelle Gonzalez, Family Support Advocate

Barrow: Kayla Mosher, Teacher

Jackson: Jenny Gentry, Teacher

Madison: Tiffany Moss, Teacher

Walton: Sandra Channer, Family Support Advocate

Winder: Angela Walter, Teacher

Jimmie Moss, a teacher from our Madison location, received the President’s Award. This award highlights the work of a staff member who goes above and beyond everyday duties.

Staff also recognized President/CEO Donna Davidson for her hard work in leading the organization for the past 24 years.
