CLC Team

 My name is Deria Davenport, and I am thrilled to join Cornerstone Learning Center as the new Childcare Director. With 10 years of experience in early childhood education, I am passionate about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive.  I’m currently in school for Human and Health services. Also, I’m taking a course to become a Registered Behavioral Technician. My hobbies are shopping, talking long walks, helping the homeless, listening to music , and being a mom.

In my previous roles, I’ve focused on creating a safe and learning environment, circling around children and their families. I love to engage in the community as well that’s a big part of my job to make sure the community understands childcare and the quality of learning behind childcare. We at Cornerstone developed innovative programs that support social and emotional development" or "building strong, supportive relationships with families and staff. I’m dedicated to fostering a space where each child feels valued and encouraged to explore their interests.

I look forward to getting to know all of you—children, parents, and staff alike. My door is always open for questions, suggestions, or just a friendly chat. Together, I’m confident we can make Cornerstone 3 a wonderful place for every child to begin their educational journey.

Thank you for the warm welcome, and I’m excited to start this new chapter with all of you.

Mrs.Deria Davenport.

My name is TaShina Carrell, mother of four beautiful children, wife, and guardian to my disable 37-year-

old brother. I grew up in a large family with six sisters and brothers.

As a young girl I always had a love for children and teaching, that was the main game we played

together at home growing up. Then as I got old enough to help my mom and dad with my brother it

really showed that I genuinely loved helping people. At the age of eighteen I began working in a day

program with disable adults and children like my brother and really fell in love with it. I over the course

of the first five years doing so I helped open three new facilities for special needs children and adults it

was very rewarding being apart of such an amazing thing for those that needed a safe loving place to

grow learn and flourish. As time past I went from being an instructor teaching to case management.

As time past I thought working with children during their tender years would be great to help aide them

in growing and assisting them develop the proper skills sets needed in early education, so my career

path took a small twist to childcare and it was and has been so awesome over the past five years.

I have learned so much from the children and there is so many great classes and trainings to help get a

deal of knowledge from to make sure that we as teachers have all the tolls we need to help them learn

and how to teach them its just very rewarding seeing each new milestone they come across and

conquer it does my hear great joy to know that I play a vital role for so many beautiful precious children.
