Sponsor the Early Childhood Professionals’ Summit

Support the Professionals Who Shape Our Children’s Futures

Early childhood educators are not babysitters — they are brain architects.

The work they do shapes the brain architecture of every child they teach. The foundation laid in the earliest years influences all learning and development that follows. These professionals dedicate their time, energy, resources, and heart to caring for our community’s youngest citizens—and they deserve to be supported.

Sponsorship Opportunities

$50 — Sponsor an Educator

Help an early childhood professional attend the Summit.

The early childhood education field has been hit hard this year. Federal and state policy changes, deep CCDF cuts, and the increasing cost of providing care have forced many providers to make difficult financial decisions. Some have even had to close their doors.

For many educators, professional development opportunities like the Summit can feel financially out of reach.

By sponsoring an educator, you help ensure they can attend this important day of learning, connection, and inspiration.
