About this Event

Experience interactive, state-approved language and literacy sessions designed to strengthen skills and inspire change in classrooms and early learning communities. Expand your knowledge, strengthen your network, be inspired, and walk away with practical strategies you can use right away.

  • Earn your Early Language and Literacy training clock hours
  • Network with fellow early learning professionals
  • Connect with Quality Care for Children, The Atlanta Speech School, and other partners and discover new resources for your program
  • Receive language and literacy giveaways and resources for your classrooms (provided through generous funding from the Literacy and Justice for All initiative)

This is a paid event, and every registration gives back: 100% of proceeds will be raffled, and one attendee will receive language and literacy materials for their early learning classroom, valued at the total amount of the proceeds. Tickets are $15 per person. Register before March 10th and save $5 off the ticket price!
