Delaware Technical Community College's three Child Development Centers, located at the Georgetown, Dover and Wilmington campuses, recently received recognition for commitment and dedication to Delaware's children and families from the Delaware Department of Education, Secretary of Education Susan Bunting, EdD, and Gov. John Carney.

"We are appreciative of the professionalism and care that our dedicated teachers have continued to show, and we are proud of this recognition and all of them," said Dr. Mark T. Brainard, college president.

Delaware Tech Child Development Centers provide care and education for children of Delaware Tech students, faculty and staff, and the community, based on available openings. In addition to providing care for young children from infancy on, the centers provide learning opportunities for Delaware Tech education students under the supervision of qualified professions. The Child Development Centers serve as models and community resources for excellence in early childhood education.

All of Delaware Tech's Child Development Centers have earned a 5-Star Rating from Delaware Stars for Early Success, Delaware's Quality Rating and Improvement System administered by the Delaware Department of Education. Star Level 5 is the highest level of achievement in Delaware Stars.

"The partnership with our parents and teachers allowed us to successfully provide the childcare services that were and still are desperately needed," said Dr. Bobbi Barends, vice president and campus director, Georgetown.
