Dear Providers,

Need credit hours? Want to get more motivated? Want to get new ideas or old ones you forgot about? Want to stay on the cutting edge of early childhood education? Join us at some of the area early childhood conferences available to Family Child Care Providers and other early childhood educators. Some car pooling available. Scholarships are available to help financially in attending some of these events. Some of the annual conferences in the area for 2006 are:

the Coalition's 5th Annual Provider Conference: Saturday, Jan. 28th.

Circles Of Care Conference at the Edison Community College: May in Ft. Myers

Fl. Family Child Care Home Assoc., Inc. Annual Conference: This year (2006) it will not be held in June at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort, in Clearwater Beach, Fl. because the Assoc. will be hosting the National FCC Conference on July 26th - 29th, in Orlando, Fl. (more info. later.)

E.C.A. Annual Early Childhood Educators Conference: end of Sept. in Orlando, Fl.

(still working on some of the dates and locations, more later)
