Proclamation by Tony Knowles Proclamation by Tony Knowles, Governor Early Childhood Educators have a profound influence on the lives of Alaska's children.
Young children learn in a variety of settings and in a variety of ways.
Early childhood educators honor the diversity of each child's ability to learn. As each child works to make sense of our world, these educators facilitate this learning process. The most critical stages of development are during a child's first eight years. The education and professional development of the early childhood educator is a primary factor in providing nurturing guidance for children when they are in care outside their homes.
