Hi. My name is Belinda Hurlbut and I am the Early Education Director here at Evangel Heights Children's Center. I started my journey into Early Childhood in 2007. When I started I had no experience in childcare so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I didn't even know if I would like this field, but God had a plan for me. I started in the infant room and slowly learned about how important education is, even with the babies. They absorb so much information at such a young age. I loved working with the babies, but my field before coming here was in administration, so when the opportunity arose to apply for the Asst. Director position I applied for it. I worked under the previous director for about 3 years, and I obtained my Associates Degree in Early Childhood. I also obtained my Director's Credential and have held that for 12 years now. I have been Director for about 10 years and I have learned so much during this time. I am proud of our center and the fact that we have grown so much over these years. Obtaining a Star 4 with Keystone Stars was one of my goals and we have held that for the past 4 years. I am proud of our center and what we have accomplished over these past 16 years. I am excited for our center to continue to grow and expand. Thank you for taking the time to learn about Evangel Heights Children's Center.
