Lynda A. Cohen Professional Development Scholarship – October 2010

In honor of our beloved colleague, Past President of DAYC, and Lifetime member of NAEYC, this scholarship was established in October 2010. Lynda A. Cohen was the epitome of an early childhood professional, generously giving of her time and talents to support her colleagues and our community for over 40 years. Her memory lives on with the establishment of this scholarship in support of a new NAEYC/DAYC member and early childhood professional.
