Please join us for NCAEYC's Annual Conference. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to join early childhood educators in two great days of learning.
The theme for NCAEYC’s 66th Annual Conference is Revive • Renew • Restore - Reignite Your Passion • Refresh Your Purpose. From our beginnings in 1953 as the North Carolina Kindergarten Association, then transforming into a state affiliate of NAEYC in 1974, we are connected by a commitment to high quality care and early learning for young children Birth – 8. Today’s leaders and members continue to live out this commitment by exemplifying professionalism and valuing our connections to each other and to the advocacy impact we have when we join together to make a difference for children, families and our field. With a renewed mission, vision and priority initiatives, NCAEYC continues to adapt, transform, lead and innovate so we can promote and inspire purpose, passion and professionalism in early care and education. Our great line-up of sessions reflect our interrelated Priority Initiatives: • Developmentally Appropriate Practice across the Birth – 8 age spectrum • Wellness and Resilience in Early Childhood Education • Professionalism, Leadership and Advocacy Our desire is to create space for you to be meaningfully connected to, actively engaged with, and uniquely inspired by other professionals committed to this valuable early childhood journey
