2009 conference highlights!

Here are just a few of the comments from attendees:

For a relatively small investment of time and money, there is a significant return in professional development. There's an opportunity to network with other early childhood professionals and a great chance to squeeze in some fun, too! Participants return to work renewed, refreshed and recommitted to supporting young children and their families. I have been going to conferences for 20 years and these past two years have been incredibly AWESOME.  

It is something that all educators should be allowed to attend.

This was my first time and I cannot wait until next year's conference.  It makes me feel pumped up to be a teacher and encourages me to always give my best for children!

It is less overwhelming than the national conference and just as informational.

There are so many workshops that supervisors could send teachers to multiple workshops to meet the needs of the facility.

Good information - great vendors and prices.

Everyone from new employees to long term staff will be able to learn something.

This was the best conference I have attended. The message was clear throughout the conference. Every workshop was focused on doing what was best for children, doing what was developmentally appropriate.

Improving both our performance as educators and the public's understanding of the vital work service we perform depends upon our having regular and frequent access to quality professional development experiences at the annual conference. I left the conference feeling refreshed and renewed and returned to my classroom determined to apply what I had learned. Furthermore, I felt new pride in my profession and increased respect for for the researchers and advocates who stand behind our work.
