A Stable and Experienced Staff

New Gulph Children's Center is unique among day care centers nationally for the stability we have maintained in key staff positions. The Director and the two Head Teachers have been employees for more than 30 years! Another staff member has served the Center for more than 25 years, one other for 20 years, and two more for over a decade each!

Parents place a very high value on the quality, experience, dedication and loyalty of the staff and are committed to maintaining excellent personnel with minimal turnover.

Things Parents Love About The Teachers at NGCC:

•  The teachers respect, listen and never “talk down” to the children

•  Children are encouraged to form and voice opinions

•  Silliness is both appreciated and nurtured

•  Every teacher tries to find the good points of each child

•  They make sure our kids are more than prepared for Kindergarten in every way, including academically and socially

•  A lot of loving and nurturing care that have made my son an extremely affectionate (and sociable)
little boy

•  My son is excited to go to school – and on those occasional days when he is sad to see me go, I love the way one of his teachers always scoops him up and makes him happy again

•  The candid photos that the teachers take during the day while I'm at work and wondering what my
son is up to

•  Warm-hearted, practical advice and guidance I get

•  Lots of help with potty training!

Leadership

Nancy Klein, Director of New Gulph Children's Center since 1982, has been a valued member of the staff for over 30 years. Nancy joined the Center in 1973 as a pre-school teacher shortly after earning her bachelor's degree in early childhood education from Syracuse University. Her grown son, Stephen, went through New Gulph, and Nancy taught, loved and cared for several of the women who are now long-time members of the New Gulph staff.

These special relationships, as well as Nancy's thoughtful leadership over several decades, have helped to create the family feeling that is so strong and valued at New Gulph Children's Center. When asked what she appreciates most about New Gulph, Nancy describes how she “enjoys working with children and families as they grow up, and the closeness of the New Gulph staff.”

“I'm also proud of the warmth and strong bonds that one can't help but feel at New Gulph. It's a closeness that's present in every interaction: among the children, between teachers and children, and with parents, staff and the kids.”

Members of the New Gulph community can thank Nancy Klein's boundless dedication and leadership for so many of the qualities that have made New Gulph a vital, positive influence in our lives.
