TB5 is always hard at work! This past week, our team hosted a Toddler CLASS training, preparing observers to head into the field and capture the high-quality interactions happening every day in early care programs across Ready Region Central.

š Happy Childcare Provider Appreciation Day! š
Today, we celebrate the incredible dedication, love, and hard work of childcare providers everywhere. One of the best ways we can show our appreciation is by advocating for equitable pay, offering needed support, and recognizing the vital role they play in our communities.
Thank you to all the amazing childcare providersāyou make a world of difference! š
This week, TB5 participated in the statewide Coordinated Enrollment meeting alongside colleagues from across Virginia.
Across the state, partners are working hard to make it easier for every family to find and access quality, affordable early care and education. We are proud to be part of this collective effort to build a more equitable system for children and families.
Stronger coordination means stronger support, now and in the future. š
Last weekend, TB5 had the pleasure of connecting with families at the Richmond Ismaili Jamatkhana Kids Health Fair! š
