Embrace Empathy and Equity  

Oct. 11 deadline for registering for Leadership and Early Childhood Conference

          

The theme for this year's 4C for Children Leadership and Early Childhood Conference centers around empathy and equity. The sessions offered will help child care providers navigate the powerful emotions behind this subject matter. In this article from Teaching With Young Children, read seven tips for help on creating environments that are "equally warm and inclusive for all children." The article states: "Modeling and teaching empathy-concern for others' feelings-is an important part of being an effective, culturally competent teacher."

The 4C conference registration deadline is October 11. We hope to see you there!
