Upcoming Alliance Events

Professional Growth and Collaboration for Educators

From research-based training to peer networking, the Alliance equips early childhood educators and directors with tools to strengthen their practice and inspire young learners.

Our professional development programs and events foster shared learning, innovation, and connection across the field.

Mindful Beginnings

Mindful Beginnings is a free monthly meet-up for new and expecting parents to connect, share, and find community.

Led by certified doula and childbirth educator Kassie Leachman, gatherings include a gentle walk on local trails—or cozy coffee shop meet-ups in winter—and time for conversation. Babies welcome; carriers encouraged.
