ECE Day at the State House
march 21, 2024
Registration IS OPEN!
In April 2022 we rallied together to highlight the "Strength of Early Childhood Educators" at the State House in Augusta. The event, during the 51st Week of the Young Child, brought attention to the needed support for early childhood educators including investments to support child care educator wages.
Governor Mills, Speaker Ryan Fecteau, Rep. Amanda Collamore, Board member Gina Forbes, and Maine CTE Students spoke at the press conference.
