Chances are you've heard about the
Ohio Early Care & Education Conference.
With over 3,000 attendees, it's been the talk of early
childhood professionals when it comes to an inspiring
learning experience. The Conference is built around the
sharing of great ideas with a focus on creativity and new
approaches to everyday issues and practices.
What's the best thought-provoking idea you've implemented?
What new and better ways have you discovered that have made
life and work more fun and productive?
Consider sharing your knowledge and expertise with early
childhood professionals from Ohio and our neighboring
states. Help your colleagues enhance their knowledge and
skills by submitting a proposal full of hands-on ideas and
new strategies from the field!
Most of our attendees seek professional development and
continuing education because learning never stops! Here are
some reasons our attendees desire to continue learning:
* Staying up to date with changes in the
field;
* Satisfying employment and education
requirements;
* Personal and professional
growth;
* Learning for the sake of learning; and
* Fun and recreation.
"I need professional credit, but I have the most fun doing
it at the conference!"
