The 10th Annual Preschool-Kindergarten Summit in February 2025 was a smashing success! * 287 attendees * 49 schools & organizations represented * 20 sessions hosted at The Chicago Botanic Gardens This annual professional development conference brings together local and national early childhood educators to discuss­ best practice and explore emerging research that promotes optimal development for our youngest learners, foster a common understanding of developmentally appropriate practice, and provide resources for advocacy and continuing education. Our Mission: The Alliance for Early Childhood is a collaborative, community organization that supports and guides families and educators to nurture the healthy, well-rounded development of children from birth to eight years old.
