As we approach the shortest days of our year, express gratitude, and assess and look towards a new year, we’d like to thank the many dedicated and exceptional early educators in Addison County who greet our families and children day after day with warm hearts and high-quality programs that we can trust and know our children thrive in.

The work they do is fundamentally important to the fabric of our communities and the light of our future. Each of us is connected in some way to an early educator — through our own children or grandchildren, our employee or employer’s children, or the children of friends and colleagues. This work is full of commitment, preparation and love and is wholeheartedly appreciated.

Thank you early educators!

On behalf of the Addison County Early Childhood Network,

Su White, Linda January and Jennifer Cyr
