These last few weeks have been unlike anything we’ve ever experienced! You have persevered and risen to the challenge. You’ve learned new skills and kept loving your students in the best ways you could find. I’d love to give you a high-five or a hug to show you how proud I am of you!

With social/physical distancing restrictions continuing, it seems the time has come to make some decisions about summer conferences. After much prayer, I’ve decided to cancel our July State Conference in Austin and reformat the August State Conference in McKinney.

I’m excited to let you know that we will move forward with a brand new format that allows for livestreaming two full days of training on August 6-7. This format will allow us to offer high-quality, innovative training while making sure we are good citizens and keeping everyone comfortable and safe. We will interact with most of our speakers live from McKinney and partner with host churches across the state to host up to 200 attendees per location. You’ll be able to gather with early childhood educators in your area and experience the conference together! If restrictions are reduced by July, we’ll open spots to those locations that are willing to handle increased capacity.
