Child Care Conference Advances Quality Early Learning
The Texas Rising Star Quality Conference was hosted by Workforce Solutions Deep East Texas and celebrated the providers’ hard work and dedication, as well as provided professional education to help them continue to contribute to the early development of children.
Over 320 child care teachers representing 42 child care providers across 12 counties came together on August 27, 2022, in Lufkin to focus on quality care and early learning.
Speakers emphasized learning activities such as using 'loose parts' in the classroom to help children think creatively and incorporating hands-on science for exploration and discovery. They also were reminded of the importance of being a child care educator for the crucial development years of zero to five.
The Texas Rising Star program is a certification process for improving the quality of child care services provided in Texas.
