Conference Theme: Foundations to Futures

In a fast-changing world, sometimes the best way forward is by revisiting what works. This year's theme invites us to slow down, reflect, and return to the roots of high-quality early learning — child-centered play, responsive teaching, intentional environments, and strong relationships.

About the Venue

Held at the scenic Sawmill Creek Resort along the shores of Lake Erie, this year’s conference combines learning and leisure. Relax between sessions, enjoy the views, and make it a weekend getaway!
