September 2023 – Employee of the Month: Seana Davis

by | Sep 25, 2023 | News and Information

Seana Davis has been working with preschoolers in our Head Start program since 2001. She was previously honored as Employee of the Month in December 2009, and is currently a lead teacher at our Liverpool location. Here are some of the comments that were included in her nomination to receive this award again:

“It is clear from the moment you step into her classroom that Seana is dedicated to her profession.”

“She not only treats every child with compassion and understanding, but also consistently shows patience and kindness to any individual who enters her classroom.”

“Seana is always willing to try any suggestions or ideas she is given, often thinking outside the box. This way of thinking has helped her persevere, no matter what challenge is thrown her way.”

Thank you, Seana, for everything you do, and congratulations on being named again as our Employee of the Month!
