                        Tuesday, October 2, 2018

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Jane Brown M.Ed., Executive 
Director of Child Care Resources of Rockland (CCRR), as she celebrates 
her retirement at A Benefit for the Child Care Tuition Scholarship 
Program on Wednesday, October 3, 2018.
  Mrs. Brown has long been an educator, having taught a variety of age 
ranges, including school-aged, preschool, toddlers, and even infants, 
for more than 40 years. She has served as Executive Director since 2004 
and in various other positions at CCRR for 13 years prior. Mrs. Brown 
also serves on several boards and advisory committees. She formerly 
served as the Co-President of the New York State Association for the 
Education of Young Children and President of the New York State Early 
Care and Learning Council. Mrs. Brown was recognized as a 2012 Woman of 
Distinction, Honoring Women in New York.
  In addition to working hands-on with the children, Mrs. Brown has led 
professional development for numerous home-based staff and early 
childhood development centers. She worked with staff on developing 
stronger curriculums, interacting with children and families, enhancing 
the learning environment and helping teachers deal with the stress 
commonly experienced in the early childhood industry. Mrs. Brown has 
also taught courses at the B.A. and M.A. level and given local, state-
wide, and national presentations on early childhood education.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my fellow Members of Congress to join me in 
expressing thanks to Mrs. Brown for her 27 years of outstanding 
service, dedication, and passion to Child Care Services of Rockland and 
to the children and families of Rockland County and beyond.
