October 21 is Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day!
This year’s theme, “Care Counts”, highlights the deep care and commitment that early learning educators and child care professionals bring to their work every day. There is no education without care – and their dedication is the foundation of thriving children, strong families and vibrant communities.
Early Childhood Educators are highly skilled and dedicated professionals who are committed to nurturing child development to support their independence and lifelong success, while also supporting the well-being of families in our communities.
The important work ECEs do, inspire young minds and builds strong communities for our future. We thank all early childhood educators and child care professionals for the dedication, commitment and hard work they do every day.
