Reason for Working at Northeast Georgia Speech Center
I truly love working and playing with children of all ages, especially toddler
and preschool aged children. To be able to see a child make eye contact with you during an activity and then to see them laugh and smile because they are having so much fun playing with you while they are learning at the same time is an incredible feeling that I get to experience on a daily basis here at the speech center. I feel so honored and blessed because I work with such an incredible team who all have a passion for serving all our children we treat as well as their families. Children not only receive an enriched language learning environment but they also get to learn through play at the Speech Center and the children are all loved by each and every staff member here!
