The SAZAEYC Annual Awards Brunch honors and supports individuals in the Southern Arizona community who have been leaders and advocates on behalf of children, families, and early childhood educators. This is done through award presentation, scholarship presentation, graduate recognition, and the celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week!
The SAZAEYC Early Childhood Awards are named in honor of four inspiring women who spent their lives contributing to the early childhood education profession and community. Read more about the awards and their history on the SAZAEYC Early Childhood Awards page.
