Today is Provider Appreciation Day, a time for us to all
celebrate the efforts of providers who care for and educate our state’s
children. Here’s a message to providers from DEL Director Ross Hunter:

“Earlier this week I was asked to record a video for the Office
of the Superintendent of Public Instruction reminiscing about a teacher who had
been powerful in my life, as part of National Teacher Appreciation Week. It was
really easy, fun, and made me smile to think about the impact my high school calculus
teacher had on my understanding about how the world of mathematics actually
works. Despite my fondness for Mr. Machemer, in the real world, pre-school and
childcare teachers are where the impact on children’s developing brains is most
powerful.
The opportunity you have as teachers of our littlest, most sponge-like
kids is incredible, and you really can change the world for the better.
Thank you for your commitment, your love for the children in
your care, and for the positive impact you have on our littlest learners.”
