We’re thrilled to share that last month, Yudi Escobar-Morales, Bilingual Early Intervention Service Coordinator at Developmental Pathways, was nominated by a community member for the Colorado Department of Early Childhood's (CDEC) Early Childhood Champion Spotlight!

This recognition celebrates individuals who go above and beyond for young children and families across Colorado — a fitting reflection of the dedication and heart Yudi brings to her work every day.

We couldn’t be more proud to see her recognized at the state level, or more grateful for the difference she makes in the lives of the families she serves. Congratulations, Yudi. You’ve earned this. 💛
