The providers participated in a 5 week class on Wednesday evenings and covered topics such as responsive caregiving with children, supporting and partnering with families, and creating safe learning environments. The IFCC team wanted to recognize and celebrate the participants for their commitment to their professional development, their communities, and to the children and families they work with. The providers&rsquo; dedication is especially important given that the majority of the participants are informal providers, and thus they are not required to complete professional development hours.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ceremony2\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1399\" height=\"389\" src=\"http:\/\/earlychildhoodnyc.org\/newswatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ceremony2.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/earlychildhoodny.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ceremony2.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/earlychildhoodny.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ceremony2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/earlychildhoodny.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ceremony2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/earlychildhoodny.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ceremony2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/earlychildhoodny.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ceremony2-503x335.jpg 503w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:9px;\"><strong>Photo credit: Kelly Williams<\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe ceremony opened with a few remarks from the Institute&rsquo;s Executive Director, Sherry M.
