Early Childhood Educators

Early Childhood Educators

Early childhood professionals—including directors, teachers, and students—help prepare the next generation of children for school and for life. Your work matters to children, their families, our community, and the world.

Visit our list of Techincal Assistance, Trainings, Workshops and more designed to meet the needs of our local Early Childhood Educators, like you, at the ECE Resource page.

The quality of care EC Professionals provide to the children and families they serve matters to families. It matters to us, too.

Childhood Educators

As ECE Professionals and GCPC work together to improve the quality of childcare in Guilford County, you can count on us to do the following:

  • Create and share professional development opportunities so you can stay connected
  • Connect you with Community Partners who can help you serve children in your care
  • Help you connect with other early childhood professionals to share ideas
  • Bring together early childhood professionals from across the county to solve common problems
  • Highlight the work you do with children in a variety of different ways
  • Study issues related to wages and create a plan for addressing this issue

We’ll also provide resources and ideas to help make your job and life a little easier.

Please contact us with your ideas and suggestions for improving early childhood learning and development.

Strategic Plan Priority Areas

We are thrilled to publicly release data from our Early Childhood Community Needs Assessment which was recently completed as part of our strategic planning process. We were fortunate to have the expertise of Mary Beth Gilbert with Evaluation Innovations, LLC lead this work. The assessment report is available for those who want to dive in deeper to understand the needs of young children, their families and caregivers, and the early childhood education space. Data from the report helped guide our recently approved Strategic Plan. That plan, developed with the support of 1000 Feathers, will guide the work of GCPC over the next few years with a focus on two big goals.

Strategic Plan and Needs Assessment report was released in February 2025. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on additional news.
