Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sindy Lafages- McCree as one of
California's 8th Congressional District's Women of the Year. A devoted educator and advocate, Sindy has spent more than two decades strengthening early childhood education throughout Solano County.

Drawing on her fluency in French, Creole, and English, she has created vibrant, multicultural learning environments that support young children and their families. Her commitment to early childhood education extends well beyond the classroom. Sindy played a leading role in reinstating the Solano-Napa Chapter of the California Association for the Education of Young Children and now serves as Chapter President. In this role, she works to expand professional development and continuing education opportunities for early childhood professionals throughout Solano and Napa Counties.
presenting at multiple California Association for the Education of Young Children conferences, the 2025 California Child Care Resource & Referral Network Conference, and the 2026 National Association for Family Child Care Conference. She further supports local educators as a consultant, providing training in childcare business administration and helping strengthen program quality. Through her dedication to children, families, and educators, Sindy continues to advance educational excellence across the region. On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, it is my pleasure to honor Sindy Lafages- McCree for her many contributions to our community.
