My name is Christie Davenport-Garrett; I am the Toddler One teacher at SCDC. I have been employed with SCDC since March of 2008. Before coming to SCDC, I worked at White Oak Public Schools/Cherokee Nation in the 3 yr. old program as lead teacher for over 7 yrs. I received my CDA in April of 2005.
I currently live in rural Vinita with my three children, Alicia who is 15 and attends Vinita High School and is the catcher of the school softball team. My son, Beau, is 12 and attends Vinita Middle School. Our latest addition, Brody, who was born April of 2009, attends Secondine Child Development Center in the Infant room. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and attending ball games of my children, going hunting and any other activity that involves spending time outdoors in nature. .

Frankie Campbell, Preschool Teacher
Email Frankie Campbell
My name is Frankie Campbell and I am the Master Teacher in the Preschool room at Secondine Child Development Center. I have taught here since February 2007. I have almost 400 hours of formal and informal training in early childhood education including my CDA. I have been in the early childhood field since 1988, for six of those years I served as director of two different centers, but I discovered I much prefer the classroom over the office, hands down.
My main goal is to teach the children how to learn while making it fun. I also believe preschoolers should learn lessons in how to get along with others, problem solving and other vital social skills they will use their entire life. As their teacher, my desire is to make them strong and confident in those areas.
Stacey Fipps , Child Care Center Cook
Email Stacey Fipps
Hello, I am Stacey Fipps. I have been married for 4 years. I live in Chelsea, Ok. I have 4 girls ranging from almost 3- 16 years of age. I have 3 step-children that live on their own, and my Step-Daughter is having a baby at the end of April or the first of May. That makes for a very busy household.
The Cooks position is a new one for me. The Child Care position I have done on and off for 20+ years. I have also been a HTS/VHTS/Paraprofessional for Developmentally Disabled adults and children for about 20 years. I guess one could say that my favorite job is working with children, since no matter what I do I always come back to (as I like to say) MY KIDS!
