A lead teacher at a Lawrenceville-based family child care learning home is one of three recipients of the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning’s (DECAL) Early Childhood Educator of the Year award for 2022-23.

According to a Dec. 16 release from DECAL, the state agency responsible for meeting the child care and early education needs of Georgia children and their families, Elianne Aguilera, from Eli’s Academy in Lawrenceville, was named the state’s winning toddler educator of the year.

It was also announced that the winning infant educator was Mary Barber with Kid’s Express Learning Center in Hawkinsville and the winning preschool educator is Tierra Faulcon with Faulcon Prep Academy in Smyrna.

Aguilera, Barner and Faulcon will receive $3,000 for their personal use, $2,000 for a classroom makeover and up to $2,500 for their school to cover travel expenses and stipends for substitute teachers as they fulfill their duties at Georgia’s Early Childhood Educators of the Year. All three teachers will serve as ambassadors for the state’s early childhood educators by modeling effective classroom practices and making public speaking appearances.
