2023-2024 Educational Excellence Award
I was an award recipient for the KinderCare Educational Excellence Award. It recognizes top-performing early childhood and school-age educators for their passion, dedication, and ability to connect with children. Kindercare Learning Centers nationwide employ more than 35,000 teachers. From those 35,000, more than 500 were nominated for the award. 28 winners were selected based on written applications and an interview process. I was the only winner and teacher nominated for my district.
