As Center Director, Jenelle’s role is to create a safe, positive and enriched learning environment for the children in her care. She is devoted to the well being of everyone in her center – children, families and teachers. She develops and maintains strong relationships with the children and their families in her center. She encourages parent involvement and establishes a sense of trust and security so that parents are comfortable at work knowing that their child is in a nurturing environment. In addition, Jenelle acts as the on-site point of contact with our employer sponsor answering everyday questions and maintaining a positive relationship.
