INSTRUCTORS
This year’s event, themed Ride the Wave to Trends and Insights to Build the Whole Child brought together child care professionals and leaders to discuss important issues related to our youngest learners in Alabama. Best practices begin with the early childhood educator’s knowledge of how children learn and develop. Our sessions focused on developmentally appropriate practices, positive guidance, inclusive practices, professional growth and leadership.
VENDORS
Our amazing vendors got to share their business, company, or product with 175+ early educators through our in-person Vendor Expo. This was an unique opportunity to talk one-on-one with members of the early care community, present special discounts or promotions, and make connections with child care programs across Central Alabama.
