March 11, 2025

      Lisa DeLucia is celebrated as Westview’s February Employee of the Month. As a Teacher Assistant at Westview Child Care Center, Lisa is a steward of the young minds at the newest member of the Westview family. Daily activities at Westview Child Care Center are meant to be educational, entertaining—or ideally, both at the same time! Lisa looks to highlight the overall positive purpose of every project with advertent encouragement. She ensures that the students find joy in expanding their minds through core learning opportunities, and alternately, seeks to expand their intellect with abstract creativity and playful experiences.

     Lisa began as a Teacher Assistant at Westview Child Care Center in September 2023. She initially learned about the new Dayville, CT child care facility through social media and grew excited about the chance to work with children in many age groups. When Lisa began at Westview Child Care Center she worked with the infants in the afternoon. Upon expanding her role to a full-time position, she moved in stride with the same group she was working with as they graduated to the next class. Now in the toddler room, Lisa joyously joins her students on their journey. Her own experience raising a family and previous work in other daycare settings anchors her skills as a naturally nurturing individual.

     Residing in Griswold, CT, Lisa enjoys the scenic surroundings of The Quiet Corner. One of her favorite activities is hiking around local parks and trails; exploring a variety of locations across the seasons. For viewing entertainment, she likes to keep it light by watching comedies. As mentioned, Lisa is the mother of Austin, Natalie, and Hailey, and she likes to spend time with them as often as possible.

     An innate passion for working in child development is noticeable in Lisa’s response to receiving Westview’s Employee of the Month award. “I love working here—it’s such a great group to work with as I pursue this opportunity,” Lisa commented. “I can devote the best of my abilities to our students because I enjoy them so much. I really appreciate being recognized by colleagues at Westview Child Care Center. Thank you!”

     Katy Holzer, Director of Westview Child Care Center, acknowledged Lisa’s devotion: "At the Westview Child Care Center, we take great pride in the dedication and enthusiasm that our team brings to our program. Their commitment to creating a nurturing and engaging environment ensures that every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive. Recognizing outstanding staff, like Lisa, highlights the passion and care that make our center a special place for children and families. It's always rewarding to celebrate the hard work of those who make a meaningful impact every day. Congratulations, Lisa!"
