DEY proudly celebrated our first annual Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Week, May 6-10th. We imagined this week to be part of both Teacher Appreciation Week and National Child Care Provider Day while centering the work of early childhood educators in particular.
As a society, we have entrusted early childhood teachers and caregivers with the responsibility of educating, inspiring, supporting, and caring for our youngest children. In response to this charge, early childhood educators have answered with tireless effort, enduring patience, and the resolve to show up for their students every single day.
Through the week of gratitude, DEY aimed to uplift early childhood teachers and caregivers by recognizing their invaluable contributions to society and to the lives of the children and families they serve. And though Teacher Appreciation Week may have officially ended, we hope you will continue to show your appreciation to the early childhood educators in your life.
