Kathleen Harden, whose daughters, Gabriella, 9, and Veronica, 5, attended the day care center, initiated the award and contacted Miscikowski's office. ``There are not really words to describe her, but if you have children you're not without a clue,'' she said. ``Her main goal is to bring out the best in each child no matter what their level or abilities.''
