STAGES Spotlight on Rebecca

I started STAGES in June 2005 and I will be leaving in May 2007. I've been taking child care classes on line. I also visted two college classes: Human Relations with Katherine Fuerth and University Experience with Norma Cano-Alvarez. This experience was magnificent. I have two great teachers, Ms. Gigi and Ms. Dora.

I started working at A Perfect Start Academy in January of 2006. I've been working at my job for over 1 year now. I like my job because I love working with children, and I have a great boss.  Her name is Ms. Davis.

In the future, I want to have my own day care.

From the grandmother:  "The STAGES program has afforded my granddaughter an opportunity that one in our situation can only dream about.  This program promotes more educational skills, greater independent living skills, semi-professional work habits, and tremendous social interaction.  To incoming parents, please jump in, help whenever possible, and keep it real for your student.  Let them know this is a great opportunity and how not to abuse it.  Many thanks to Hillsborough County School System and to the staff at STAGES. You are wonderful."
