Psychology Staff Spotlight Award – Becca Bell
Rebecca “Becca” Bell has been with the Infant Development Program since the spring of 2022, when she started as an ADP student intern. Upon graduation, Becca joined IDP as a floater teacher in May 2023 and was then promoted to a full-time primary teacher in November of 2023. Becca is a very patient, caring, kind and loving teacher who always gives her full attention to the children in her care. Becca is fun, she is committed, and she approaches every child with a smile. Children gravitate towards her. She is that presence in the classroom that all children need. She treats each child with the utmost respect and she knows how to make everyone feel special. She listens to their every word and waits to respond no matter the situation. When she is with a child, that child gets her undivided attention.
Becca also takes great care with the families she works with and gives them all equal attention. If she doesn’t have an answer to a question, she is sure to find the answer and respond to families promptly. She is approachable and has grown so much in this area since starting at IDP. She is a wonderful mentor to students and treats them with the same respect as she does others, ensuring she answers questions and makes herself available as needed. She is inquisitive and wants to learn everything she can to be the best caregiver she can be. IDP is lucky to have her as a full-time teacher and the children and families benefit each and every day from the love she shares with all of them. She commits all of herself to anything she does. It’s rare that you find a person who is so well loved by everyone that she comes in contact with, and Becca truly is that person.
