As Executive Director of Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers, Cristy Morrell is building on the nonprofit’s 55-year legacy of high-quality childcare and educational excellence. With a passion for early literacy, she has introduced literature-based STEAM programs that spark curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning in children ages two through twelve. With five sites and deep roots in the Mid-Shore, Critchlow believes early education isn’t just child’s play, it’s an investment in the community’s future. Thanks to generous donors and foundation partners, every family—regardless of income—can access this enriching care. You can learn more at www.cacckids.org.

Wise Words: “Books are mirrors and windows to the world–in them, children see themselves, their potential, and dreams, and explore far-off places, real or imagined.” – Adapted from Rudine Sims Bishop
