For the first time, Reno County schools are rallying as a team of educators for a shared professional learning day called All Hands on Deck. Over 1,100 teachers, Hutchinson Community College instructors, and administrators will be on HutchCC’s campus on January 3rd, 2024 for a day of workshops, keynote presentations, and networking opportunities. An integral component of this day is connecting 1,100 area educators with vendors both inside and outside of education.

Hello! I want to introduce myself. I’m Val Shober, the new Director of the Early Education Center. Although I am new to this position, I have been with EEC for 23 years. I was an early interventionist with the Infant-Toddler Program for 19 years and Program Coordinator for the Infant/Toddler Program for 4 years. For the last two years, I was able to work closely with KaAnn to help prepare myself for the job as the Director. EEC also has a new Assistant Director, Sarah Thompson. She is not new to EEC, as she was previously a classroom teacher. I have enjoyed this new position and cannot do what I do without the amazing staff here at EEC. Even with new faces at EEC, we continue to be proud to offer high quality, developmentally appropriate programs to children birth to five and their families. Changes will be made as we are venturing into re-branding EEC, Inc. so please keep your eyes open for this! I look forward to this as well as continuing to collaborate with community and Reno County school districts to provide the best quality early childhood experiences for young children and their families.
Happy Fall (almost winter)!!
Val Shober
