September 2024

Our fall calendar is filled with good things for the early childhood community! 

First, we invite you to visit our table at Newark’s Community Day event, where DIEEC will be sharing information about how we support Delaware early childhood educators and programs in providing high-quality care to our children. 

Next, note that registration for two key DIEEC initiatives is now open. We hope you’ll sign up to receive a visit from a guest reader during Children’s Book Week and, if you’re a family child care educator, that you’ll register for our annual First State Family Child Care Conference. Both of these events take place in November, but you need to register in advance. Don’t miss out!

For programs currently engaged in Quality Improvement Planning, be sure to check the important updates included in this issue of REACH.

Finally, we have new resources to share with you this month. Read Coach’s Corner for tips on making the most of multi-age environments; find simple tips for integrating diversity in our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion highlight; and learn more about deaeyc’s new resource center that is open to all programs and families!

We look forward to seeing you at a program or event this fall!
