Welcome to summer! June is here, and we have some fun things to share with you this month. 

As we hope you’ve heard, we recently announced Kirsten Swift and Lindsey Mulvena as the 2023 DIEEC Early Childhood Educators of the Year. In June’s Voices from the Field, we’re happy to have Kirsten and Lindsey share a bit about themselves and how they view their roles as educators. 

Responding to feedback from program leaders and classroom educators, DIEEC has developed a brand new “Microlearning” series designed specifically to support new early childhood educators in Delaware, and it starts this month! Make sure to check out the information below and sign up to have the series delivered directly to your inbox.

We’re also excited to be highlighting the importance of executive functioning in June. Executive function skills are critical for learning and development, and they develop rapidly during the early childhood years. We encourage you to take a look at the resources below and keep an eye on our social media for some ideas early childhood educators can use to promote children’s development in this area.
