This event offers a unique opportunity for leaders from campus children's centers across the country to exchange insights, best practices, and innovative strategies aimed at meeting the changing needs of children, families, and the early childhood workforce within higher education. The theme Finding Our Place emphasizes the role and significance of campus children's centers, researchers and academic staff collaborating with other campus children's centers, teaching teams seeking deeper insights or new perspectives, and more.
