Hi All,

I'd like to think that most of you folks are pleased with the level of child care services that you receive from the staff at the Putnam Valley Children's Center at either my Elementary or Middle School program. I am truely blessed by the people that work with me.  Some have been with me for years and many of the young people that I employ,  have been through our program as kids and are studying child care professions post high school. My site supervisors Toniann Cortina (ES) and Vickie McDonald (MS) run each site with such pride and devotion to your kids.  I have no words for the work Annie Spinelli does -I could not do my job without her!

Please see the attached flyer regarding nominations for outstanding contributions by dedicated child care providers.  The Child Care Council of Dutchess and Putnam, Inc is an agency that celebrates child care providers each year in May.  If you would consider nominating one of my programs or staff persons it would mean so much.  We have won in the past, and we all go to the dinner and accept the award with such pride.  I believe recognizing people for their work is so important.  So again, if you would take a few minutes to nominate us, that would be awesome! 

Thanks so much-

Lisa Kroohs
