UW-Whitewater Early Childhood Conference Presenters
Please check back for MORE 2020 Details!
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 42nd annual UW-Whitewater Early Childhood Conference! I have been involved in the conference for several years and like so many early childhood educators, I feel like this is a special time for us to gather, share, and grow together. This year, I am excited to serve in the role of coordinator and am beyond grateful to Robin Fox and the other coordinators who served before me to make this conference what it is today.
We will also have vendors and a silent auction. Please check our website for updates along with our Facebook page (UW-Whitewater Early Childhood Conference). Thank you for all that you do for children and families and for Leading the Way! I can’t wait to see you in April and I’m honored to be a part of this amazing conference.
