June 2010 Providers of the Month
The HELP!Line Center congratulates Heather Gross, Steph Lowry and Beth Smith of Citibank Family Center on being named the June 2010 Provider of the Month.
The nominator wrote, “The Citibank family center is extraordinary in every way and the main reason is because of the top level staff they hire. My daughter has now been in two classrooms as she has grown and I could not be happier with the care and knowledge she has received. Heather, Stephanie, and Beth have done a terrific job since previous teachers had moved. It can be very hard on a child when their care giver changes but the children seemed to take to Heather, Stephanie, and Beth without a fuss. They are tremendous at relating to the little tykes and always challenge them with fun activities. They make a great team and allow the children to explore. We can take for granted the values that are instilled in our children this early and need to realize that people like Heather, Stephanie, and Beth really do help to shape our children. I feel so lucky that my child is able to be influenced by them all.”
The HELP!Line Center recently honored and recognized Gross, Lowry and Smith with a certificate and a letter of appreciation from Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether.
