I chose Early Childhood Education because I have a genuine love for working with and being around children. Helping them learn, grow, and discover the world brings me so much joy. One of my favorite quotes to share with young children is, “You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit.” It’s a simple reminder about gratitude and patience. I also love saying, “Turn that frown upside down,” to encourage positivity and resilience.
I now have my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and I’m excited to continue using what I’ve learned to make a positive impact in children’s lives every day.

Tracy -GSRP Lead Teacher Center 2
Tracy Bohannon
I hold a CDA in preschool education. It chose me! I saw in my own nephew the strides early childhood education was making back in the ‘90’s and was excited to get in at ‘the ground level’ so to speak. What we teach children when they’re young carries on for a lifetime. I would love for the children to all be able to problem solve before they leave me. Problem solving is so important when when we’re young and gives a sense of independence and self reliance.
My favorite quote ever is by Benjamin Franklin:“Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember,Involve me an and I learn”
