Provider of the Quarter
Story & Photo by 1st Lt. Erin Boone, 96 FSS Marketing
We have shining stars in our midst and
our children are in their safe and capable
hands! Jeanet Schrack, Eglin’s Family Child
Care Provider of the Quarter for Summer
2009, exemplifies what the Air Force seeks
in its affiliate providers; a safe, educational
and engaging home environment where the
children of military families can learn and
grow on a daily basis.
Mrs. Schrack holds a bachelor’s degree in
Elementary Education and clearly appreciates
the educational side of her position. The
children adore her fun loving spirit and their
artwork gifts of love cover the walls of her
sunny playroom! The parents of children
in her home cannot say enough about her
dedication to service and the quality of care
she provides. On numerous occasions,
she has opened her home for child drop-off
as early at 5:30 a.m. and stayed open on
weekends to provide parents the flexibility
needed to complete the mission knowing that
their children were safe and happy.
Parent Melonie Schang put it best, saying,
“She is very loving to all the children in her
home. Most days, my children are not ready
to leave in the afternoon.” In the two years
since Mrs. Schrack was licensed, the faces of
the little children in her home have changed,
but the glowing praise she has received from
their grateful parents has been constant.
Colonel Alan Bridges, 96 MSG/CC (pictured
above with Mrs. Shrack), and Ms. Paula
Denson, Deputy, 96 FSS were on hand to
present Jeanet Schrack with her award, as
well as her husband and several of the young
children in her care. 96 FSS thanks Jeanet
for her tireless efforts to help Eglin Air Force
Base provide the highest standard of service
to our military members and their
5
children.
