Open the Door to Tomorrow: Honor the First Three Years of Life

Description

Do you want to be with a dedicated group of birth to three professionals sharing insights into the day-to-day joys and challenges of the work with this age group and their families? Come and participate with us to honor the first three years of life: the foundation of growth and learning that opens the door to tomorrow. Our keynote speaker, Tovah P. Klein, will launch the day with her keynote address and our group of experienced infant toddler professionals will provide a rich learning experience for us all.

The 2015 Conference is centered on the following:


• The first three years of life as the foundation for all future growth and learning, and how we can support that growth.
• Setting up infants and toddlers to “thrive” in our environment: as parents, as professionals, as a community.
• Observing and using daily routines to understand typical and atypical development in the first three years of life.
