As I sip my coffee this morning and get the kids on their buses, and in the spirit of LAECA turning 60 this year, I heard on the radio that the CMA Country Music Association is also turning 60 this year, 2 weeks after our 60th Anniversary!

So why a post about country music? WELL, not only to celebrate all things celebrating their diamond birthday too, but Louisiana has great influence on the continously-growing roots of country music. Artists like Lainey Wilson, Tim McGraw, Gyth Rigdon, etc have all been influenced by LOUISIANA's Early Childhood Educators like YOU...
..look at them now!!!

From Louisiana Littles to sensational artists that continue to represent Louisiana and Louisiana's impact! Keep doing what you're doing!!! 💙🩵🩶

What do LAECA and Mrs. Beasley have in common? Ah! Some of my younger friends are thinking “Mrs. Who?”
Before Buffy the Vampire Slayer there was a little girl named Buffy on a weekly television show called “Family Affair.” Buffy had a doll named Mrs. Beasley that was mass produced and millions were sold across America.

LAECA and Mrs. Beasley are both beloved through time and are celebrating their 60th birthday this year!

Yesterday evening, I took LAECA on a little road trip to good ole Deridder, La to surprise Jamie Mayes!

If you aren't familiar, let me reintroduce her! She is a mother, an educator, a brilliant speaker, an author, and an advocate for all learners, teacher/parent connections, and self-care! We had the honor of hosting her as our Keynote speaker a few conferences back!

Heads up! You'll get the privilege of seeing her speak again as she makes her way around Louisiana to promote her Common Connections project. It's something you wouldn't want to miss!

We love you, Jamie Mayes! Thank you for being that spark that Louisiana Educators need! 🫶

We took a trip up to good ole Monroe, LA to dig into the history of LAECA! We're excited to work with our historian, Sarah Weir Cox, to look through years and years of our organization in hopes to find great memories that we can bring to our 60th Anniversary!

What do you think we'll find?? 👀

Recently, we were asked if we needed to have a Spanish-only presentation to network our Spanish-speaking EC Educators.

We love this idea! However, this is definitely not a resource we need to waste.

We would need the feel of who may benefit from certain Spanish-only presentations. What do you think? Do you or a coworker need this resource?
