Last year's conference, Everyday Wonder:
The 3rd Annual Early Childhood Conference explored the "Everyday Wonder" of children -- from brain development and legos to multiple intelligences and bubbles! The day was focused specifically on the wonder-full early childhood years, birth to age 8/grade 3. We invited anyone interested in children and families to attend: teachers of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners & primary grades, child care providers, center directors, home-based providers, school principals and administrators, early interventionists, therapists, and, especially, parents.
