We've created a "Staff Favorites" list to help guide families who may be interested in purchasing a gift for their child's teacher or staff in the building. This list includes some of our staffs' favorite things. Please note that it is entirely optional to use. It’s just a fun way to offer some ideas if you're looking for inspiration.

ECE is fortunate to have an incredible staff. To express our gratitude, we're creating a space for you to give personal shoutouts to the staff in the building that you want to recognize.

How it works:

1. Fill out the provided form.
2. We'll add your message to our weekly staff Smore and post it outside of their classroom.

Let's celebrate and uplift our staff!
