Any Solano County early learning and care provider serving children ages infant to preschool may be nominated. The recognition program includes teachers, assistants, paraeducators, food service staff, transportation staff, school site administrators and family childcare owners. 

Solano County Office of Education, in collaboration with the Solano Child Care Planning Council and other community partners, is hosting the 4th annual Solano Early Childhood Educator of the Year program on Friday, May 1, 2026.
