Tanisha Wade has worked within our Head Start program for almost three years, and she is currently a Health Advocate for our Merrick classroom site and for our collaboration with the Salvation Army Cab Horse Commons Child Care Center. Her notable recent achievements include helping to introduce the Chompers Dental Program this year to Cab Horse staff and families, and preemptively getting medical attention for a student upon spotting the early signs of an allergic reaction. Tanisha has been a particularly strong advocate for children in our program with food allergies and has helped staff understand infection control procedures. She is also known for supporting classroom coverage whenever needed, and for being very diligent and thorough about following proper procedures and always consulting with her site’s nurse.
Congratulations to and thanks to Tanisha Wade, our Employee of the Month for June!
