Once a year GCAEYC takes time to celebrate and recognize achievements by individuals in the early childhood field. Nominees are persons in the Gulf Coast area who have honorably enriched lives through their service to children and their families or to early childhood professionals. GCAEYC recognizes all nominees at the Gulf Coast Awards Ceremony and winners will automatically be nominated for the Texas AEYC Awards.

Two easy ways to nominate someone:

Print the PDF document and mail it to GCAEYC, P.O. Box 1064, La Marque, TX 77568

Fill out the form in MS Word, save it to your desktop then email it as an attachment to gcaeyc@gcaeyc.org.

*Please note:

Our board feels that it is important to make this process as easy as possible for the award nominees.  This year we are requiring anyone submitting a nomination to provide us with a brief letter of recommendation.  Please answer the following questions in your letter:

  • What is your relationship with the nominee and how long have you known each other?
  • What are the applicant's exceptional qualities and skills, especially those that are specific to the award you are nominating them for.  For example, competency in his/her field or prior experience, organizational and communication skills, academic or other achievements, interaction with others, sound judgment, reliability, analytical ability, etc.
  • What other information do you feel is important for us to know when we are considering your nominee for the award.
