EdNC. Essential education news. Important stories. Your voice.

EdNC is highlighting the experiences of educators, families, researchers, and advocates with a stake in North Carolina’s early care and learning landscape.

These profiles illustrate that care and education are inseparable, especially in a child’s first five years — caregivers educate, and educators care.

In this series, we refer to those profiled in the way they are known by their community.
