Linda is the Administrator at Dr. Day Care Providence. She has worked at this early learning center since before it was Dr. Day Care! She joined the team in 2003, when it was still the Nickerson Community Center. After the center became Dr. Day Care Providence in June 2015, Linda advanced from Lead Teacher to Assistant Director, to Administrator-in-Training, and then was promoted to site Administrator in 2017.

Linda is both direct when needed and an empathetic listening ear for both staff and families. She makes people feel comfortable and is approachable. She knows her staff, families, and children well and always advocates what is best for them. Linda goes above and beyond and can be depended on to help when asked. One nomination stated that Linda is, “a respectable, honest, passionate and professional Administrator.”

A natural problem solver at heart, Linda wastes no time getting to a solution. She is well known for being quick to respond with completed paperwork and tasks that need to be done. Linda can be relied upon to take care of tasks quickly, before they become a problem.

“She is a very kind and hard worker. She is always listening and helping us.”

When choosing the Team Member of the Year, another consideration is how the employee gives back to their community. One thing that set Linda part is how she maintains positive and professional long-term connections with the community. Linda coordinates and strengthens relationships with the DHS licensor, NECPA accreditation visitors, the YWCA, and her local community partners. Linda facilitates close work with the local senior centers, the library, and local visitors such as police and fire stations and other community helpers. Linda can often be seen directing families to community resources or assisting parents with valuable connections to DHS, elementary schools, and other necessary resources to benefit the children in her center.

Choosing a Team Member of the Year is always a difficult but rewarding task! Thank you to everyone who took time to nominate a coworker for this award. We are so grateful to have an amazing team to choose from during the selection process.
