Call for Exhibitors and Sponsors:
The Early Learning and Development Center is an innovative lab school focused on providing high quality care and learning for young children, working families, student-parents, pre-service and in-service educators, and industry leaders. Early childhood educators are among one of the lowest paid professions; yet, research shows when children have access to high-quality early learning experiences, they are more likely to graduate high-school, have higher earnings in employment, and have better health outcomes. They are also less likely to repeat a grade, obtain special education, and avoid incarceration.
Your support goes towards a network of care that makes a difference in their communities. Educators are looking forward to connecting with industry experts, community resources, and brands that support the profession.
