Team members from Continued recently attended the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) annual conference, held Nov. 20-23 in Nashville, Tennessee.
NAEYC is a professional membership organization that works to promote high-quality early learning for all young children, birth through age 8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy, and research.
The 2019 Annual Conference brought together nearly 10,000 early learning professionals to champion the profession.
Team members greeted convention attendees at a booth representing Continued Early Childhood Education. Booth visitors received artwork display kits for classrooms and pins and could enter to win one of three grand prizes, which included a $250 Amazon.com gift card, a lifetime membership to Continued Early Childhood Education, and four books by some of Continued’s expert presenters.
