T.E.A.C.H. D.C. Participates in OSSE's "Month of the Young Child" Celebration
In conjunction with OSSE, the T.E.A.C.H. D.C. team participated in this year's "Month of the Young Child" series throughout the month of April. On April 1, Jasmine McCoy-Hadnot and Lindsay Bryant served as volunteer readers at the Edward C. Mazique Parent Child Center, Inc. as part of OSSE's Read Across DC event, which is designed to promote early language and literacy development among infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in the District of Columbia. Later that month, the T.E.A.C.H. D.C. team also participated in OSSE's Adult College Completion Fair: Early Childhood Edition and Child Care Leaders' Summit and Networking Event: Advancing Excellence in Early Childhood Education. At these events, the T.E.A.C.H. D.C. team shared information about our scholarship program with early care and education professionals, including teachers, home child care providers, and center directors, across the city.
A project of the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI), the T.E.A.C.H. D.C. program deeply values our continued partnership with OSSE as we work to improve the education, training, compensation, and stability of the early learning workforce to ensure the long-term success of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and families in the District of Columbia.
