You don’t want to miss this love note! Sergio Marte, a previous International Preschool of Arts student, is a shining example of how influential it is to have the support of dedicated teachers and strong parents.

Like many other Michigan parents, I started today by dropping my kids off for the first day of a new school year.

I'm excited to see the way Michigan's students learn and grow this year, and I'm proud to know that so many people have worked hard to set them up for success.

ELNC directors and staff gathered to learn more about vicarious trauma and how the work that we do can affect not only the mind but the body as well. Thank you to Brooke Aernouts, Family Future's Trauma and Resilience Coordinator for her insightful presentation! #elncgr

Pre-K for All: It. Just. Makes. Sense.  

Providing Pre-K for all doesn’t just supercharge kids’ education; it creates valuable jobs and levels the playing field for low-income families. That's why we’ve proposed expanding Michigan's Pre-K program to all kids. Let's get it done!

We ❤️ our teachers! Thank you for inspiring a lifelong love of learning and discovery. You make a difference in children’s well-being and long-term success.

Happy #nationalteacherappreciationweek! Last week, ELNC staff visited our partner sites and gave out pun-tastic gifts to thank our educators. Monday, we gifted them with keychains and colorful chalk. Thank you to all our teachers; this year was off the chain!

As a father of three school-aged children and a proud product of Michigan public schools, I am deeply grateful for the role teachers play in each one of our lives.  

In Michigan, we’re investing in our educators, so they have the tools they need to support every child.

Happy National Teachers Day!📚🍎✏️ Today we celebrate the incredible teachers who dedicate their lives to shaping the minds of our future generations. Their hard work and unwavering commitment to education are truly invaluable. #ThankATeacher #EducationMatters
