Teacher Awards to Honor U.S. Teaches
Deadline: December 7, 2007
The Terri Lynne Lokoff Child Care Foundation ( http://www.tllccf.org/ )
created the Terri Lynne Lokoff/Children's Tylenol National Child Care Teacher Awards to acknowledge the critical role of child care teachers in providing quality early care and education.
Child care teachers from all fifty states and the District of Columbia are invited to apply. Fifty teachers are selected for their commitment and dedication to the children they serve. Of the top ten recipients, one is selected to receive the Helene Marks Award.
As part of the application process, each applicant is asked to design an enhancement project for the children in their classroom illustrating the educational, social, and emotional benefits from the project. Award recipients receive $1,000 each -- $500 for the teacher's personal use and $500 to implement the project. The Helene Marks Award, which includes an additional $1,000, is presented to the child care teacher who is selected from among the top ten applicants of the National Child Care Teacher Awards.
Applicants must be teachers of infant, toddler, or preschool age children, and must be employed in a home, group, or center-based program that is fully compliant with local and state regulations for operating child care programs.
