ECFE Spring Updates and End-Of-Year Wishes
Dear ECFE Educators,
As the school year comes to a close, we are happy to share our Spring Updates 2026 slide deck.
The slide deck includes a thank-you message to recognize all you have done for families this year, along with updates, resources, and upcoming opportunities for ECFE educators and coordinators.
Inside, you will find:
• A reminder about the 2025–26 ECFE Community Needs Assessment for Coordinators
• Information about the statewide Early Care and Education Workforce Survey
• Ways to continue collecting ECFE family stories
• Upcoming professional development and networking opportunities
• Resources to stay connected with the DCYF ECFE team and other ECFE professionals
• Marketing tools and free materials to help promote ECFE in your community
We hope these updates and resources are helpful as you wrap up the school year and begin planning for next year.
Thank you for the care, dedication, and heart you bring to children and families across Minnesota. Your work makes a meaningful difference every day.
We wish you a restful and enjoyable summer.
With appreciation,
Darcy, Mike, and Mi

Thank you for your contribution!
