Nominate an early educator!

Early educators are the unsung heroes shaping Tennessee’s future. They nurture our youngest learners during their most critical developmental years, laying the foundation for lifelong success. Now, it’s time to recognize Tennessee’s exceptional teachers through the Tennessee Early Educator Award!

The impact of quality early education is profound. 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

Parents, grandparents, family members and friends, nominate an Early Educator, who has made a difference in your child’s life today.
