Thank you to all the donors, partners, and early childcare providers who attended last month's Celebration of Giving! The event was held at Smithcreek Farms in Christiansburg.

At this event, we honored early educators, funders, and partnering organizations that participated in the 4-year ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) pilot project to strengthen the early childhood workforce in Blacksburg. The $1.15 million grant that we received from the Town of Blacksburg is wrapping up this fall, and we wanted to celebrate!

We highlighted those caring for and educating our youngest children who joined us on the ARPA grant journey to explore and test ideas and strategies to grow the profession of early childhood education, support retention, invest directly into early educators through the incentive program, and use lessons learned to continue to strengthen the workforce beyond Blacksburg.

We look forward to expanding this work to other parts of the !
