October 18th is ECE and child care worker appreciation day. We are thankful for our amazing staff. Their work is complex, challenging, rewarding and essential.

Happy Early Childhood Educator and Child Care worker Appreciation Day 2021

Those of us that have been in the field of ECE for years have always known how essential quality child care is to children, families, and the community and the pandemic has highlighted how very true this is. And while the ECE’s and Child Care workers make this work look effortless we know that it is challenging, requiring skill, knowledge, talent, empathy and courage and it is anything but effortless.

The daily interactions that build relationships create a place where children know they belong. When they know that they belong - that this is their space they can engage in activities that allow them to grow and explore at their pace. This allows them to express themselves in their unique creative way. All of this facilitates their well being. When the children are in the place that they belong the family can contribute in the community in meaningful ways.


To all of our ECE’s and child care worker hero’s- you have our gratitude and appreciation for all that you do!
