Hi, my name is Sandra D. Riley. I work at Putnam County Head Start as a Family Service Worker and Nutrition Specialist. I was born here in Eatonton, GA. I'm married to Tommy Riley and have one son Correy. I attended middle and high school in Boston, Massachusetts and graduated with the senior class of 1982. Living in Boston was a great experience for me. I moved back home in 1989. In 1991, I started working at Head Start where I received my (CDA) Childhood Development Associates Certificate and an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I also received some training courses with Macon State College in Early Education. I enjoy working with children because we learn from each other and in my experience no one day is the same. My favorite things to do are to shop, watch sports, outdoor activities, and I love walking as a special past time. MY Motto: Believe in the strength that you have deep inside, and your faith will help show you the way.
