Meet our staff and volunteers
Tammy DeBakker. I was born and raised in Norway, Michigan and went to Northern Michigan University where I received my Bachelor's in Elementrary Education. I also hold a Child Development Associate Credential. I taught Head Start for 8 years with the Menominee-Delta-Schoolcraft Community Action Agency before coming to the Dickinson-Iron ISD Early Childhood Department. My husband, son and I love living, working and playing in this area and I am happy to be part of the Norway Head Start center.
