Redefining Early Learning for Our Youngest Learners
Description:
Children are learning from the moment they’re born, yet discussions on their education often start with pre-K. This session redefines early learning by highlighting the crucial years before school. By pre-K, children have already spent years learning from the people and places around them. This session features leaders of programs that support social-emotional learning, bonding, and relationships in early childhood. These areas build a strong foundation for success in school and life. Join us in reimagining early education with a holistic approach that truly supports our youngest learners.
