On this Veterans Day, we pause to honor and celebrate the brave individuals who have served our country.

At the NC Institute for Child Development Professionals, we extend our heartfelt appreciation, especially to the veterans who support, teach, and advocate for young children and families across North Carolina.

Thank you for your service.
