WELCOMING ALL CHILDREN: CELEBRATING OUR DIVERSITY AND STRENGTHENING CONNECTIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY
The fourth annual Early Childhood Education (ECE) conference format looks a little different this year. That’s because we have adapted the conference to offer virtual sessions for early learning and care providers, plus we have added a community forum which the wider community is invited to attend.
COMMUNITY FORUM
FRIDAY, JAN. 22 | 6 P.M. | FREE
A free community forum will be held on Jan. 22 at 6 p.m., with Dr. Rosemarie Allen, who will highlight the importance of early childhood in ensuring all children are honored, celebrated, and connected. Business leaders, law enforcement, medical professionals, faith-based community leaders, mental health professionals, K-12 educators and administrators, and early learning and care providers are invited to attend. To RSVP for the forum, please visit https://conta.cc/2XhzgiM.
BREAKOUT SESSIONS
SATURDAY, JAN. 23 | 9 A.M. | $25
Early learning and care providers are also encouraged to register for the conference breakout sessions on Jan. 23. The sessions include guest speakers Sandy Avzaradel and Kathy Wahl, who will focus on understanding the science and best practices to support all children's mental health and wellness and inclusion strategies to build a culture of welcoming and belonging in the classroom and school.
