The Art of Play and Wonderment is an early childhood education conference designed to provide a space for educators, administrators, students, professors, and researchers to gather and reflect upon, celebrate, and share what we bring — and wish to bring — to our early childhood classrooms, professional practice, and research. In particular, we examine how play, joy, inquiry, and wonderment impact and inspire meaningful teaching and learning.

The 6th annual conference, taking place Saturday, May 31 at Corlears School in partnership with Brooklyn College, will be centered on the theme Nurturing Compassion.

Programming is designed by Colleen Goddard, Ph.D., the Early Childhood Division Director at Corlears School and an adjunct professor in the Early Childhood department at Brooklyn College.

All workshops will be eligible for PD credit through The Aspire Registry. If you would like to be credited for PD hours, have your Aspire ID handy at checkout.

Student discounts are available upon upload of your student ID.

We hope to share a schedule of workshops before March; until then, you can take a look at last year's schedule for an idea of the kinds of learning opportunities you can expect.

NOTE: Breakfast and lunch are included in the price of your ticket.
