Bettye serves as the Executive Director of Reba Early Learning Center. She is responsible for overseeing the delivery of our education and care program. Her professional career with preschoolers began in 1971. Throughout the years Bettye has served in many roles; from teacher, and anti-bias trainer, to her present role. Bettye says “lifetime connections with children, families, teachers, and the community are what she enjoys most about her work.”
Humorous comments such as the time when Bettye asked a child “to pass the milk carton” and the child responded “my name is not carton”, or the heart-warming comment from a parent who said they were going back to school “to be a teacher like you” are “unforgettable moments” in Bettye’s life. |
