Nominate an Early Educator

Early educators, you are the unsung heroes shaping Tennessee’s future. You nurture our youngest learners during their most critical developmental years, laying the foundation for lifelong success.

Now, it’s time to celebrate you through the first annual Tennessee Early Educator Awards!

Early Educators, your impact is profound. We see your hard work, creativity, dedication often goes unappreciated.

We also understand, children who receive high-quality early care and education are more likely to:

  • Enter kindergarten ready to learn
  • Read at grade level by third grade
  • Graduate high school and pursue higher education
  • Develop strong social skills and emotional resilience

We want to champion YOU! Nominate yourself or another early education hero today.
