?? Advocacy in Action! ??? Jack & Jill Center was proud to have our Chief Program Officer, Angella Schroller represent us at the NAEYC Public Policy Forum alongside Florida Association for the Education of Young Children (FLAEYC), advocating for policies that support children, families, and early educators. Every child deserves access to high-quality early learning experiences, and every educator should be valued for their essential role in shaping the future. Over the past few days, we were grateful for the opportunity to amplify our voices at the local, state, and national levels—because when we invest in early education, we invest in a stronger future for all.?? #JackJillCenter #Flaeyc #Naeycppf
Discerning Wonderer | Non-profit Leader | Strategic Thinker | Creator of Growth & Innovation Culture | Education Advocate
Thrilled to have had the opportunity to participate in the NAEYC Public Policy Forum the last few days as part of FLAEYC, advocating for policies that support children, families, and early educators. High-quality early learning experiences lay the foundation for lifelong success, yet too many families face barriers to access, and too many early educators struggle to make ends meet. Advocacy isn’t just about policy—it’s about ensuring every child has the opportunities they deserve and every educator is valued for their critical role in shaping the future. Grateful to join fellow advocates in driving change at the local, state, and national levels. Our voices matter. Our work matters. And together, we can build a stronger future for our youngest learners, their families and their educators. Also grateful for Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and her office for making time to discuss this important matter. #EarlyChildhoodMatters #AdvocacyInAction #NAEYCppf #FLAEYC #JackJillCenter #InvestInEarlyEd #SheilaCherfilusMcCormick

????One of the amazing highlights of this year! Our very own Ms. Janibel Torres named Florida Association for the Education of Young Children (FLAEYC) Early Childhood Educator of the Year! We couldn’t be more proud! Thank you FLAEYC for yet another amazing conference and congratulations to Ms. Janibel and all of the other 2024 winners! ????
#FlashbackFriday: In October, The Movement was proud to once again attend and present at the Florida Association for the Education of Young Children (FLAEYC)’s Annual Conference in Orlando. This event brings together early learning educators, community partners and advocates from around Florida to discuss early education and advocacy. In addition FLAEYC hosted its annual awards, including Early Childhood Educator of the Year awarded to Ms. Janibel Torres from Broward County and Advocate of the Year awarded to Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce CEO, Alfred Sanchez, among others. Rocio Velazquez and Varnessa McCray from our team led the session “Own Your Power! Every Educator is a Leader”, focused on empowering the voices of early educators and giving them the knowledge and support to advocate on their own and their students’ behalf, just one of the several incredible and informative learning sessions from a range of speakers that took place at this year’s event. Congratulations to the winners of this year’s awards, and a big thanks to FLAEYC for another wonderful event. We can’t wait to attend next year’s conference!
