much more!” She multi-tasks at her desk, right there in daycare with the kids. “ I’ll stop everything I’m doing to interact with the children. That’s my passion. That’s always been my passion.” Her work at Mary Hall Freedom Village is very fulfilling. Sharita says, “I love to see the change. It's so rewarding when a mom completes the program. When a child announces, ‘We have a car! We have a home!’” Talking with fondness of a little boy in the program, Sharita giggles, explaining that he is “Very busy and very sweet,” and he was really in need of following a structured schedule. He didn’t know how—he’d never had that before. “When we gave him structure, his inquisitive mind asked, ‘Why are we going to do this?’ And I answered, ‘Because we must follow a schedule. This will help you when you start elementary
school.’ Sharita added with excitement, that he underwent a tremendous change with their program, and is thriving in a structured environment. “Now he walks right in, and he knows exactly what to do.” When asked what she hopes for the future at Mary Hall Freedom Village, Sharita doesn’t even have to think about it. She shares the happy news, “We are getting ready to move to a new location! I’m so excited! We are still in the Sandy Springs area but are moving to an even bigger and
better location where we can help more children and more parents. I’m just excited to welcome all the new children, and to educate the moms that are coming, as well as the children.”
