As you will see in the next section, we would like to recognize our Korean
American providers who have joined the Network. As part of the Appreciation
Day Event, H annah Ko was recognized for showing promise for professional ad-
vancement and lasting success by her example of excellence as a provid-
er. Another Korean American provider of note is Young Kim, for supporting
family values and the importance of stressing the development of chil-
dren at home in a family setting.
In order to place the providers into these categories, the parents of the
children enrolled were asked to complete a brief survey regarding the skills
they found valuable in their childcare provider. QCCN was glad to receive many
responses and pleased by the positive messages about the providers. We thank
the providers for sharing their unique stories about how they began working as
childcare providers and their relationship with QCCN. QCCN values the skills
childcare focused program.

In addition, Hannah, a Korean American staff member of QCCN, has shown strong
