Heather Guerin started as a Head Start Teacher Aide in 2009, and has been an Early Head Start Teacher at the Merrick building since 2013. She was nominated for this honor by her co-workers for consistently making herself available to assist others with their work or to fill in when someone else is not available, throughout every part of our largest classroom site: from helping newer teachers with their lesson plans, to helping in the kitchen, to watching the front desk, to riding as a school bus monitor.

Thank you Heather, for everything you do, and congratulations for being chosen as our Employee of the Month for October!

Bob Davis has been a technician in our IT Department supporting the Head Start / Early Head Start program since 2008. He was previously recognized as Employee of the Month in August 2011, and has been nominated by his colleagues again for his can-do attitude, excellent customer service skills, positive outlook, boisterous sense of humor, and the unwavering dedication that he demonstrates in tackling difficult issues and in contributing his technical skills beyond his normal job duties. As a recent example, within the past two weeks Bob performed the early-morning setup and troubleshooting of the audio equipment at two big events for all HS/EHS program staff.

Congratulations to Bob Davis for being awarded Employee of the Month for a second time!

Domini Vaughn began working in the Head Start program in 2003 as an Administrative Assistant, and has been a Data Quality Assistant since 2008. She was previously recognized as the Employee of the Month in December 2006 for her consistent thoroughness and dedication to her work, and is being honored with this award again for the extra effort she has given while her team has been short-staffed, especially this month during the completion of the annual Program Information Report.

Thank you, Domini, and congratulations for being awarded Employee of the Month again!
