The 2020 VOICE for Children Celebration has been rescheduled!

We are truly living in unique times. The coronavirus pandemic is impacting everyone and everything we do. As the situation continues to unfold, PennAEYC recognizes the uncertainty of the next few weeks. To protect the health and safety of our honorees and guests, we decided to postpone the VOICE for Children Celebration. We have rescheduled the VOICE for Children Celebration Event for Friday, October 2, 2020 at the Hotel Hershey and hope you are able to join us!

The 10th Annual VOICE for Children Award Celebration will be held Friday October 2, 2020. PennAEYC is pleased to announce the 2020 VOICE for Children Award winners.

The Pennsylvania Association for the Education of Young Children recognizes the critical role advocacy plays in high quality early learning settings and celebrates those who speak on behalf of Pennsylvania's children. As the voice for early care and learning, community advocates are an invaluable component to assuring all Pennsylvania's children get the start they deserve in school and life.

The VOICE for Children Award is the only statewide award in Pennsylvania recognizing the grassroots leaders whose work impacts the quality of care for young children in diverse settings.  Now in its tenth year, the VOICE Award celebrates not only individual award recipients, but the early childhood profession.
