I would like to take this opportunity to let all of you know how blessed I am to have been given the opportunity to join the Noel UMC Children's Center's family. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you, my door is always open so if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please feel free to let me know.

Change can be hard but, I want all of you to know that it is my wish and desire for Noel to be one of the best Children's Centers in the Shreveport/Bossier area. Not only am I an educator, I am also a mother of two and I know what it is like to want the best for your child.

I have worked in the Early Childhood Industry for over twenty years. My career started as a floater, working with children of all ages since then I have held positions such as Lead Teacher/Assistant Teacher; Director/Asst. Director; Administrator and an Education Leader. I have earned a Childcare Management Diploma from an International Correspondence School, an Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts from Atlantic Cape Community College in New Jersey (where I was born and raised), a Bachelor's Degree in Family and Consumer Science with a concentration in Child Development and Family Relations from Northwestern State University in LA. I am also a Certified Trainer for NSU's Family and Child Care Network; I have been teaching Child Care Workshops for them for more than two years. Throughout the years, I have obtained several different skills and certifications that have been beneficial to my career. I look forward to working with you and providing the best education and care for your children.

God Bless! Pam Rushing
