Clark-Pleasant Early Learning Center was proud to announce that Ms. Patty Brown was the recipient of the Indiana Early Childhood Hoosier Educator Award for Preschool and Early Elementary Teachers. This award is presented to an educator whose exemplary practices embody the practical application of Indiana AEYC (Association for the Education of Young Child) standards and who shares those methods with others. This prestigious award is presented annually during the Indiana Association for the Education of Young Child's (INAEYC) annual conference.
Ms. Patty has been a teacher at CPELC for 3 years, joining the staff as an instructional assistant and then obtaining her Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. Mrs. Parisi, Director of CPELC, was honored to present Ms. Patty with a certificate from the CPCSC Board and Administration at the school board meeting on May 20th. During this presentation, she described Ms. Patty as, "an incredibly kind, compassionate, and responsive teacher who works tirelessly for all children in her classroom and our school. We are so lucky to have Ms. Patty as one of our teacher leaders."
