GSUMC Education Center
The Director
My name is Cyndy Baker. My family and I live in Prince Frederick, MD. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma, in 2001, with a BS in Elementary Education. In the last 20 years, I have worked in the early childhood education field as a teacher and a director.
My passion is seeing children thrive and succeed through education and play. When I am not working with children, you can find me on a soccer field watching my daughter and youngest son play. I also enjoy running, yoga, meditation, watching my Sooners play football, and DIY projects.
Education Center Accreditation
Good Shepherd Education Center has received accreditation from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE)! MSDE's accreditation program's mission is to encourage programs to provide the highest quality learning environment and practices in an early child-hood setting. The accreditation process incorporates program standards, indicators, and descriptions of best practices for preschool, prekindergarten, kindergarten, center-based childcare and Head Start programs. The focus is on the administration, operation, and family/community partnership of classroom-based programs. Any program that uses these standards and participated in the accreditation process is seeking recogni-tion of their commitment to improve the performance of its early childhood services. Typically this is a two year process of self-appraisal, program improvement and final validation by MSDE. The accreditation is awarded for three years.
