Opinion: Community support of childcare providers appreciated
To the community,
In honor of the Month of the Young Child, Choices for Children hosts an annual provider breakfast honoring our community’s childcare providers for the services they provide to families and children throughout the year.
The Early Care & Education field will come together on April 28 at the Lake Tahoe Golf Course. This year’s exciting topic: “Sticky Adventures! Implementing Sensory Experiences in the Curriculum”, is possible through the collaboration of the Children’s Cabinet agency whose trainers have volunteered their time to come present to 90 childcare providers. The highlight of the event revolves around the opportunity to connect with adults working in the same field, encountering the same joys and challenges and hearing the importance creating sensory opportunities in the early years.
CfC would like to extend a special thank you to Penny Williams, Yvette Ruiz and Audrey Branch for sharing their expertise with our childcare community and to the following businesses for their generous donations which made CFC Annual Child Care Professionals Appreciation Breakfast very special:
Thran’s Flowers, MontBleu, Harvey’s/Harrah’s, Horizon Casino, Sierra Athletic Club, Stonefly, Overland Meat Co., Grassroots, Pier Sun Tanning, Carson Valley Swim Center, Rose Petal, Lake Tahoe Golf Course, Sorensen’s Resort, Ernie’s Coffee Shop, Passaretti’s Italian Restaurant, Wolfgang Puck, GoodFellas Pizza, Dog Wash of Tahoe, Embassy Suites, Side Street Boutique, Freshies, Blue Dog Pizza, Fasta Pasta, Element Spa, Perfectly Polished, Hollywood Theaters, The Paradise Beauty Supply/Salon, and Heavenly Village Cinema.
Your generous support to professionals who provide childcare for our community’s children and the children of families visiting Lake Tahoe is greatly appreciated.
