Karen Kaye Achievement Award
CCRC is celebrating 11 child care providers who received the Karen Kaye Achievement Award for completing their Gateways for Early Educators Passport program. The extensive training series involves 48+ hours of professional development, and attendance of at least two trainings in each of the 12 Early Childhood Education (ECE) topics areas.
Every year, thousands of ECE professionals participate in high quality learning experiences provided by Child Care Resource and Referral (R&R) and Alternative Payment agencies. Los Angeles County R&Rs launched the Gateways for Early Educators Passport program in 2010 to track training completed by ECE professionals.
This year marks the 11th anniversary of the Karen Kaye Achievement Award, which was held virtually for the first time in August. The award honors the memory of Karen Kaye, whose vision paved the way for the development of the Gateways for Early Educators initiative. She was the Executive Director at Connections for Children, an R&R agency that serves the Westside and South Bay of Los Angeles.
Congrats to the CCRC providers who received this year’s award:
Beatriz Andrade Trujillo Sandra Batres Karla Lopez
Jessi Martinez Milagro Monterrosa Talin Oganesyan
