THANK YOU to all who helped us celebrate local early childhood educators this May! ๐Ÿ’™

coalition members assembled 300 care packages that will be distributed to instructors at 15 local child care centers, recognizing the incredible work they do each day to nurture, teach, and support our youngest neighbors.

From snacks and self-care items to classroom supplies and handwritten cards, every donation played a role in making these gifts possible. Special thanks also to the support shown by our friends at Play Palz 101! ๐Ÿ’›
