On June 9, 2011 we recognized the outstanding work of early childhood professionals in Dallas, Texas at the Honoring the Profession event. This event was sponsored by our friends at IBM, who have a rich history of supporting early childhood education through their IBM KidSmart Early Learning Program.

Children at a ChildCareGroup center using the Young Explorer™
The IBM KidSmart Early Learning Program integrates new interactive teaching and learning activities using the latest technology into the pre-kindergarten curricula. IBM’s KidSmart program includes the Young Explorer™, a computer housed in brightly colored, child-friendly Little Tikes™ furniture and equipped with award-winning educational software to help children learn and explore concepts in math, science and language.
ChildCareGroup is able to offer this technology at each of our child development centers, thanks to donations from IBM. Since the inception of the KidSmart Early Learning Program in 1998, IBM has donated more than 50,000 Young Explorers to schools and nonprofit organizations in 60 countries, reaching more than 100,000 teachers and serving more than 10 million students.
THANK YOU IBM!
