Early Education Conference of New York.

About the Early Education Conference

Join us for the Annual Early Education Conference in New York, centered around the vital theme of “Building Bridges: Family Engagement and Partnerships in Early Childhood.” This conference will gather multilingual home and center-based early childhood educators, administrators, families, and community stakeholders who are passionate about fostering meaningful connections that enhance the learning experiences of young children. Our goal is to empower participants with the knowledge, strategies, and tools necessary to cultivate and strengthen partnerships with families, ensuring that every child lays a solid foundation for lifelong learning.

Participants can expect to explore a variety of topics, including effective communication strategies between educators and families, building culturally responsive partnerships, collaborative approaches to address challenges in early childhood education, practical tools for involving families in the learning process at home and early childhood program, designing inclusive environments that welcome family participation.
