Director

My name is Emma Coleman, the Director of Tullahoma Day Care Center. I’ve had the privilege of being a part of TDCC since 1979. I started out as an aid, then lead teacher, social worker, assistant director and now Director. I enjoy children and feel blessed to be able to impart so much into their little lives. We strive every day to provide a lasting education in each child that comes through our center and program.

I am married to Jimmy, Sr. and have 3 children – all of which graduated from Tullahoma Day Care Center. I was the youth leader at church for over 17 years, working with children to young adults. As I look over these past  years, I realize my work with the children was a part of my ministry.

Teacher

My name is Bonita (Nita) Estill and I have the privilege of teaching at the Tullahoma Day Care Center for over 31 years. Along with a team of amazing and creative teachers, I’m committed to providing your child with a loving and developmentally sound foundation for a lifetime of learning.

I am the proud mother of four wonderful children and 10 amazing grandchildren. Outside my commitment to my church, I mostly enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I believe children are the future and I am honored to contribute to their growth and development. It is my true joy to watch them as they become well rounded and happy beings.

Teacher

My name is Patsy Jones and I started working at Tullahoma Day Care Center 35 years ago. After running my own in-house day care center for 8 years in Raleigh, NC, I decided to return to Tullahoma.

I love watching the children learn and grow into strong little people. We have fun learning, singing, playing and planning fun things to do.
