A champion isn’t always the winner of a competition, but rather someone who has a dazzling skill or fights gallantly for a group of people, or sometimes a group of children.
It’s those champions that Camp Fire will honor with a dinner and awards ceremony on April 19, 2012. The 7th annual Celebration of Child Care Champions will recognize that unsung hero – the early childhood professional – who aids in the raising and development of tens-of-thousands of area children ages birth to five.
Along with an evening of entertainment, 2012 Excellence in Tarrant County Child Care Awards will be presented based on nominations from parents, early childhood teachers and administrators in Tarrant County.
Nominations will open on January 4, 2012.
Hosted in conjunction with the Fort Worth Area Association for the Education of Young Children, Celebration of Champions raises funds to provide scholarships for the continued training of child care professionals.
Early care and education is the foundation for all future growth. Like the construction of a building, one must begin with a solid foundation. With your help, we can build a strong educational foundation in Tarrant County. That will be a Celebration of Champions!
