Welcome to the October edition of REACH, your trusted resource for Delaware’s early childhood community. As we transition into a new season, our focus remains strong on supporting and elevating you in your role.

We certainly have a lot to share this month. You’ll find upcoming professional development opportunities, and we highlight an online toolkit from the North Carolina Institute for Child Development Professionals that supports early childhood programs with using salary scales. We’re excited to announce that DIEEC’s podcast season 2, episode 1 features Dr. Whitney Williams from Stubbs Early Learning Center in Wilmington and is available now for you to tune in.

We also have a few opportunities you won’t want to miss. Sign up to enter our raffle to refresh your library of children’s books, and make sure to register to participate with us for Children’s Book Week in November. Finally, family child care educators, make sure to take a look at the opportunity to partner in a research study!
