Special Thanks!
A Special THANK YOU to the Child Care Providers Association for the generous donation of 6 Thanksgiving baskets to families in need within our community.

Welcome Stephanie!
My name is Stephanie Starets-Foote and I am your new frontline Administrative Support Clerk. I come from a 9 year background as a Case Manager with Child Support Services in Del Norte. I am nearly a lifetime resident of Crescent City, except for a 10 year span where I went out into the world! I have an 18-year-old daughter and 5-month-old grandson. My partner and I are working on obtaining guardianship of little (big) Phillip. He is the joy of our lives! I decided to change careers and this miracle opportunity presented itself at just the right moment. I am also a certified massage therapist! I have a chair that would fit right in this office~~~~nice for stress relief. I love to walk on the beach, write, crafts, self-improvement, and cherish the quiet moments. I am a family gal, a good friend, and a hard worker. I hope to be the frontline person to be counted on here at DNCCC. I already feel a nice camaraderie, as we all want the same outcome in work such as this. Thank you for this opportunity.
