Calling All Educators
Join fellow early childhood educators for a day of collaboration, fresh ideas, and research-based strategies to support early childhood earners. Explore best practices, gain actionable tools, and leave inspired—all while earning Gateways and ISBE professional development credits.
Expert-Led, Action-Oriented Learning
Each Summit session is led by experienced early childhood educators, researchers, and thought leaders who understand the realities of working with young children.
You’ll leave with practical strategies, fresh perspectives, and renewed energy to take back to your classroom or program.
A Community of Support
The Preschool Kindergarten Summit is as about relationship as well as learning.
Between sessions, enjoy time to network, share insights, and find inspiration from fellow educators, directors, and leaders who understand the challenges and joys of early childhood education.
A Winter Retreat for Educators
Even in winter, the Chicago Botanic Garden offers a beautiful and inspiring backdrop for collaboration and learning.
Spend the day in engaging sessions, connect with fellow educators during networking breaks, and enjoy a delicious catered lunch—all while winter’s beauty sets the scene outside.
