As we navigate the ever changing landscape of early childhood education. Navigating new horizons in early childhood education is about embracing innovative practices, expanding our understanding of child development, and adapting to the evolving needs of young learners. As we explore emerging research, new technologies, and diverse teaching methods, we have the opportunity to redefine what high-quality early education looks like. This conference will provide a platform for professionals to share ideas, collaborate on solutions, and shape the future of early childhood education by charting a path forward that is inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and responsive to the changing landscape of the field.

We’re excited to announce the 2025 CTAEYC Annual Conference is happening at
The Mystic Marriott

This year, we're expanding to a 3 day format with a dynamic lineup of events:

Leadership Day:  Lead, Inspire, Grow
Infant/Toddler Day:  Growing Minds
Conference Day:  Navigating Growth Together

All packed with incredible sessions, workshops and networking opportunities!

Much more information will be coming over the next few weeks, including registration dates, hotel room block information,
