The Honor an Early Childhood Educator Program

The Honor an Early Childhood Educator program was created in 2014 with two primary goals – to recognize early childhood educators who have made a difference in the lives of young children and families and to provide NAEYC/CAEYC membership scholarships for current undergraduate or graduate students majoring in early childhood education/development.

This year’s Honor an Early Childhood Educator took place on March 23, 2017 at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. We recognized nine outstanding ECE educators and raised $900 for student NAEYC/CAEYC membership scholarships. Congratulations to the honorees and thanks to the nominators for their generous support of CAEYC.
