The reception of a statewide honor recently brought lifelong connections to early childhood programs full circle for one Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose parent educator.

Danielle Stein remembers attending BHM Early Childhood Family Education classes from the perspective of a child. Later in life she began taking family ECFE classes as a parent. Three years ago, with the encouragement of her mentor, Stein became a BHM parent educator herself. 

And on April 10, she received the 2025 Emerging Leader Award from the Minnesota Association of Family and Early Education (MNAFEE).
