Calling for Submissions for our
2021 #TeachersMatter Award!
2021 #TeachersMatter Award!
|
Would you like to honor your child's early learning teacher? Child Care Counts is accepting submissions for our annual #TeachersMatter contest. Tell us what makes your early learning teacher so special. The more specific information you give, the better chance your teacher has of winning, so don't be shy! As in previous years, a group of independent education professionals will read each entry and choose the one they think best demonstrates the characteristics of a great teacher: creativity, kindness, respect, caring, and an ability to relate to and nurture all kids in their care, regardless of strengths and challenges. The deadline for submissions is October 15 at 5pm EST. The winner will be announced on Monday, November 1st. The winner will receive a $250 VISA gift card for their personal use and a $250 gift card to an education supply company to buy items for the classroom. |
Nominees must work at a state-licensed child care provider in MD, DC or VA. Person submitting cannot be an employee of the provider or related to the teacher.
