This year, Denise Zanzarov, local Parent Educator at Blackstone Valley Community Action Program was honored Monday, November 11 at the 2015 Parents as Teachers in Dallas, Texas for her designation as Parent Educator of the Year! Ms. Zanzarov, along with four other parent educators from Colorado, Iowa, Texas, and Arizona accepted the award before 1,300 conference participants representing early childhood, child care, health, mental health, social services, government and business professionals from across the nation and around the world.
