“Miss Vicki” Gregory

Janitor / Substitute

Miss Vicki has been a part of CLLC for the past 7 years and brings with her a vast assortment of experience. She has received her certification in Child Development and an Associates in Early Childhood Education. Miss Vicki has been working with children for 33 years as a day care and preschool teacher and is currently an early childhood special education paraeducator at a local public school. She is also involved as a Sunday school teacher in her church. Although she steps in anytime she can as a substitute teacher at CLLC, her main role in the center is as the janitor. As a janitor, Miss Vicki is very interactive with the children. It is important for Miss Vicki to show the children that every job is important, and it takes people of all kinds and doing all jobs to make the world go round. In her interactions with the children, they learn that their actions and behaviors affect other people. Visitors to CLLC are often times reminded, by the children, to use only one paper towel after washing their hands. Helping Miss Vicki is often a reward for the children. Miss Vicki feels like this helps the children learn life skills, as well as encouraging them to take pride in keeping the center clean and running well. Miss Vicki feels proud of the work she does at CLLC when at the end of the day her helpers thank her for letting them help her, and she knows that the help they provided made them feel good about themselves.
