WECAN Early Childhood Educators Conference
Creating Spaces for the Children Coming Toward Us ~
Awakening Our Fire

We are looking forward to our 2024 Conference which will take place on February 9 – 11, 2024 in Spring Valley, NY.
Online Conference begins February 23, 2024

Our speakers will include Otsistohkwy:io and Wahsonti:io from Skaronhyase’kó:was, the Everlasting Tree School in Ontario, and Heather Church from New Adult Learning (NAL). NAL colleagues have supported the Everlasting Tree community in going through a process that many schools are longing for and have not been able to find.

The conference is open to those who are active in Waldorf early childhood education, as well as other faculty, administrators, and board members. This conference will offer tools for working together in school communities – please encourage your colleagues to attend the conference with you!

Details will follow. If you have questions, contact us at conference@waldorfearlychildhood.org.

We hope that you will join us!
