Karen Lay
Voucher Assistant
I am employed as the Voucher Program Assistant with the Delaware Child Development (DCD). I have been on staff since 1999. I am a graduate of Caney High School and Coffeyville Community College, where I received an AA degree in Business. I have other duties at DCD as well. I work with our three child care centers located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma; Chelsea, Oklahoma and Caney, Kansas; reporting their monthly child nutrition program (CACFP) information to the respective states. I also work as Administrative Assistant, recording all the documentation for our 5 HUD-funded construction projects awarded to the Delaware Tribe. I assist our Executive Director, Sherry Rackliff, with our board meetings and in any other needed areas. I am currently serving on the National Indian Child Care Association (NICCA) Board of Directors. NICCA works to improve, inform, maintain, and protect Tribal child care.
DCD is made up of a team of individuals committed to working with children, families, and communities; to educate on the importance of early childhood development, what is involved in that development, and the lifelong difference it can make in children’s lives. I have always been a fan of children, so I feel truly fortunate to be working with this group of people who place a high priority on the lives and future of the “little people.”
