The owner of the day care stated that Shantrell writes wonderful lesson plans, is patient with the children, and learns new things quickly. The parents are very fond of her and her children in the class love her. Shantrell is very happy to have found work in her career of choice so quickly. The entire team at Unitech Training Academy is very proud of her as well!

Derricka LeDuff is a graduate of the Day Care Management Program at Unitech Training Academy – Baton Rouge. Derricka was hired at the same daycare she completed her externship at. This is not a regular daycare center but a health center specializing in caring for medically fragile children. This position is normally filled by a nurse, however Derricka’s skills and level of caring were so exceptional that she was offered the position! She is now a full time assistant teacher and her duties include writing lesson plans, overseeing the meal times and play times of medically fragile children. We are very proud of her accomplishments and look forward to many more students following her example.
