Description:

"Through the Eyes of a Child" on June 4 and 5 is a gathering of people in our community who influence, believe and support the success of young children. This conference is critical for families, providers and community leaders to learn more about early learning and the importance of valuing children for the future of our community. The conference title, Through the Eyes of a Child, was created so that the focus of the events is on children and how we imagine they perceive the world. And, it is important to keep children at the forefront of conference planning and coordination so that children are elevated and honored.
