Spring Conference 2019

This past Friday was our annual Spring Conference!  This year's theme was Project Play and our educators had the privileged of hearing amazing speakers.  We started the day of with the one and only Dr. Jean!  She shared so many ideas and had our teachers up and dancing the majority of the morning.  We then learned about Adverse Childhood Experiences and the difference between tolerable/manageable stress verses toxic stress.  The last session before lunch focused on busting the myth that play is "just playing".  In the afternoon Mary Jo Huff shared her knowledge of puppet play in the classroom to promote literacy.  We then finished with Lisa Maddox-Vinson teaching how to build character through literacy.  Thank you to our parent company, Never Grow Up, for hosting such a wonderful day of training.
