I am the lead teacher in the Infant 1 room. I have worked in the field of early care and education since 2001. I enjoy being around children. My philosophy is that children learn through play. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them. Play allows children to gain an understanding about their environment and gives them the opportunity to practice the new skills that they have learned and to build self-confidence.
My goal is to obtain my Bachelor’s Degree and continue training, so that I can be the best teacher that I can be and continue to make a difference one child at a time. I have a CDA and am working toward an Associate Degree in Early Childhood.

My name is Marguerite Gammon and I have been employed at the Delaware Child Development Center for five years. I currently have a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential in infant and toddlers. I am also a member of the Center for Early Childhood Professional Development (CECPD). One of the ways a child learns is by placing the child on his back on the floor. This allows the child too freely to move his hands and feet and this is important in helping the child in rolling over. Placing balls jar lids, and other simple toys in front and on the sides of the child will encourage him to reach for them. As the child is reaching or stretching for something use words to express what the child is doing. Also, a child loves to hear the sound of their name so we encourage the child frequently using their name.

I love working with the children as a Master Teacher in the Toddler 1 classroom. I believe in promoting good self-esteem and a positive "can-do" attitude. My philosophy for children is that when a child is having fun, they are learning. My goal is to guide children so they can explore and learn in a fun and safe environment. I also have a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education.

Just when you think that you are teaching them, you realize they are actually teaching you!

I am the cook at the Delaware Child Development Center have been working for the Delaware Child Development Center since February of 2006. I have a food handler’s license and have attended numerous workshops on the Child and Adult Food Programs (CACFP). I am also certified in First Aid and CPR for infants and adults.
I realize that the strict guidelines associated with the CACFP nutrition program are very important in the development of our children. I feel childhood obesity is a problem with a majority of our children today. With knowledge and healthy eating habits, our children will be able to overcome this problem.
