Early Learning Conference

November 1, 2025  |  9 AM - 2:30 PM

Join fellow educators, caregivers, and champions for children at the 2025 Early Learning Conference for a full day of inspiration, insight, and connection focused on the early years of development. This year's event features dynamic keynote speakers Dr. Dipesh Navsaria, pediatrician and early childhood advocate, and Rachel Giannini, early childhood specialist and TEDx speaker.

Morning sessions include Dr. Navsaria’s talk Books Build Better Brains, which explores the critical impact of the first thousand days, the science of early brain development, toxic stress, and the power of relationships and early literacy. Midday features Rachel Giannini’s keynote, Love and Resilience! You've Got This, a reflective and uplifting session rooted in resilience and storytelling from the early learning field.

The afternoon wraps with a special live, interactive podcast-style session: “Teachers, Toddlers, and Tissues: Unplugged” — a candid, unscripted conversation between Rachel and Dr. Navsaria that invites audience participation.

This event is designed for childcare providers, teachers, Head Start staff, 4K coordinators, Family Resource Center staff, Early Childhood Education students, and parents. It is ideal for anyone committed to nurturing young children and supporting their healthy development.
