The 2019 ECDA Fall Conference is being held at both Confederation Centre of the Arts and Murphy's Community Center in Charlottetown on November 14th & 15th! Once again, we have confirmed some very exciting and talented speakers to join us over two days of learning, growing, and networking; including opening keynote speaker Richard Cohen.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Educating with Excellence". Our programming is reflective of the concept of purposeful teaching, including best practice discussions, and involves engaging speakers from various backgrounds and specialties. Our aim with the conference is to broaden your thinking in terms of what it means to act purposefully with a goal in mind and to have a plan for accomplishing these goals within our work and to create opportunities for children to thrive!
From the opening keynote, to the breakout sessions, to discussions over lunch with your colleagues, and coming to an end with the closing keynote, this conference will build on your specialized bank of knowledge and enhance the future of your practice!
Regardless of which sessions you attend, the expertise of the facilitators will revitalize your passion for your work in the field of early childhood care and education. Thank you for attending the 2019 ECDA Fall Conference–the knowledge you gain enriches the futures of the families and children in your care!
Mark your calendar and get excited for another uplifting, inspiring conference with PEI's ELCC field!
The ECDA would like to acknowledge our major sponsorship partner for the 2019 ECDA Fall Conference, Dairy Farmers of Canada, who have helped to make this event possible.
