The Promethean Foundation thinks highly of Tiny Tornado Academy. And rightfully so.
TTA – created six years ago to provide reliable daycare for Union City Schools teachers and staff – has again earned ‘Highest Level’ rankings from Promethean in its daycare rankings for Obion County.
Tiny Tornado Academy, under the direction of Laney Rogers and Maggie Miller, has earned elite status recognition every year of its existence and is one of only two daycares in the county to do so.
Teachers and staff were honored this morning with a surprise breakfast, recognizing their work and commitment, and were presented with a certificate noting the accomplishment.
“I am so proud of Tiny Tornado Academy for being one of only three of our ten centers in Obion County to achieve ‘High Quality’ status this year,” Promethean Director Teena Jarmon said. “This speaks volumes about the hard work and dedication of their staff. It takes everyone working together to provide high-quality care for children, and TTA is doing just that.
“I am also very grateful that they partner with Promethean Foundation and that we have the opportunity to send our children to their center. I truly enjoy visiting their classrooms whenever I can.”
TTA enrollment is prioritized by:
1) Employee of Union City School System
2) A child with suspected or identified delay receiving TEIS services
3) Promethean Foundation Scholarship recipient
Rogers gave credit to Director of Schools Wes Kennedy for his vision to begin TTA and had praise for the program’s teachers and staff for the ‘High Quality’ designation.
“Mr. Kennedy made it possible for our staff to have reliable and high-quality child care,” Rogers insisted. “At the same time, we’re able to provide early intervention support for children as young as six weeks old to those who require more intensive support.
“Our TTA staff is top-notch, and they pour into our children. They truly go above and beyond.
“And the Promethean Foundation provides us with training, mentoring, and guidance with expert advice and leadership. Their role goes far beyond scholarships for Obion County children. We certainly could not run a successful program without their encouragement and direction. Our community is beyond lucky to have Teena Jarmon and the Promethean Foundation.”
