Shenelle Cooper

Director

I have been at the center for thirteen years. As an experienced childcare provider & advocate supporting children with obtaining their educational and developmental goals. I am able to work with children and families to link them to community resources, education, health and additional supportive services to increase their stability in the community. I am able to be their voice, a helping hand, someone that can listen to them, when they are working through a problem, and be their cheerleader when they accomplish goals. Throughout my years of service, I have shown them throughout the years that I can be trusted, and that I am dedicated to them becoming self-sufficient and successful.
