Georgia Cooper / Education Coordinator
Georgia has twenty-six years of teaching and child care experience. Her love for teaching began when she opened her home as a home day care so she could work and be at home with her own children. This was successful, so she licensed her home and went on to co-own and direct a licensed child care center with 130 children enrolled. During that time, she was responsible for teachers, scheduling, maintaining state and local standards, the nutrition program, staff training, quality control, and a myriad of other responsibilities that accompany the role as owner of a day care center. For the past five years, Georgia has taught the kindergarten through four-year-old classes and American Sign Language for third through fifth grades at a private school. She has also taught child development classes at the college level. Georgia holds an Associate's degree in early child development / child care center management from El Paso Community College and has completed the Child Development Associate (C.D.A.) program. Community service has been a strong point for Georgia; she has served in an advisory capacity for many city and state organizations including the Texas Department of Protective Services Advisory council for Child Care Standards. Georgia is the mother of two beautiful daughters and grandmother to four wonderful grandchildren.
