The judging process between the Early Learning Centers and the Departments were separate because the centers are more complicated due to staff and children's involvement. Initially the "Shake Like A Duck" winner would only receive bragging rights but thanks to CEO Dr. Sharon Small, the Early Learning Center category winner will receive a scholarship prize of $400 from the ADHOC grant so that the children can enjoy the award as well.

Note: The winner of the Early Learning Center competition, the ECCs, will have to provide a plan on how the grant funds will be used for the center. (ALL RECEIPTS NEED TO BE RETAINED).
