“A mind once stretched by a new idea never returns to its original dimension.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
The 2020 TBCWEA State Conference will be different than what we anticipated, but it is going to be a fun and exciting learning experience. Come journey with us as we refocus on looking at life and learning through the eyes of young children! Never before has it been so critical to be attuned to the needs of young children and their families. And never before has it been so important to remember 1 Corinthians 13:11 “When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child; I reasoned like a child.”
