The conference will be held at the Ann Arbor Marriott at Eagle Crest, Ypsilanti, Michigan from Wednesday, May 8 – Friday, May 10, 2024. We are offering the conference as a hybrid event again this year where attendees can elect to participate in person or virtually through our online platform.

Tiny Intellectuals: Early-Childhood Learning at its Best

A terrific preschool is intellectual without being academic.  It invites children to explore ideas, pose and find answers to their own questions, and participate in long-term projects.  What such a preschool does not do is subject children to developmentally inappropriate direct instruction.  In his keynote address, Alfie Kohn considers the broad outlines of a rich early-childhood curriculum, which offers plenty of opportunities for kids to learn together (not just individually) and to make decisions (rather than just following directions).

Senior Vice President of Start Early

Dr. Barbara Cooper serves as a leader with Start Early, spearheading the strategy to bolster and advance the early childhood workforce. She also oversees the expansion of the organization’s professional learning enterprise, focusing on professionals engaged in prenatal through Pre-K education.
