Congratulations Ryan

Our champion for children!

Congratulations to YWCA Spokane’s ECEAP (Early Childhood Education & Assistance Program) Teacher, Ryan Simmons, who was recently awarded the “Spokane Champion for Children Award” by Washington State Save the Children Action Network.

A very deserving acknowledgement of your incredible dedication to 3 and 4 year old children who take so much away from being in your classroom. Thank you for all you do! You are a valuable asset to our team and to the Spokane community.
