For the second consecutive year, JCCEO is on the national forefront for excellence in teaching!  Vickie Mauldin, an early childhood JCCEO Early Head Start Program teacher, was selected as one of 50 winners of the Terri Lynne Lokoff/Children's TYLENOL National Childcare Teacher Award.  Ms. Mauldin's innovative project proposal centers on collecting mathematical and scientific data and learning about nutrition.  The parents and children in her nursery at the JCCEO Early Head Start Center will plant in the garden area at the center's site, tend to, and through photographs at various intervals, track the progress of vegetable seedlings for eventual harvesting and data compilation.  Ms Mauldin traveled to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania to receive the prestigious award that included $500 to fund her project proposal and $500 for her personal use.  One of the first to extend congratulations to Ms. Mauldin was JCCEO's 2009 Terri Lynne Lokoff/Children's TYLENOL National Childcare Teacher Award recipient Mildred Bearden, a JCCEO Head Start Program Pre-K Teacher at the JCCEO Head Start Festival Center.  The JCCEO family congratulates and is very proud of Vickie Mauldin!
