The Hero Award recognizes child care providers and staff members of all types who go above and beyond in their service of children and families, despite the many challenges they face.
Our Future Leader Award recognizes early learning professionals who are new to the field, are excelling at their profession, and are committed to creating a bright, successful future for children.
The Rosa Hightower Excellence in Teaching Award is presented to educators who have consistently demonstrated excellence in providing innovative, responsive, child-driven care and education.
The Family Child Care of the Year Award honors these critical yet often unseen educators who support children, families, and the child care workforce every day.
