The Path to Regulation | Responsive Practices in Early Childhood
Join The Alliance for Early Childhood for our 12th Annual Preschool–Kindergarten Summit, a professional development conference bringing together local and national early childhood educators to explore responsive practices, emerging research, and innovative approaches that support optimal development for our youngest learners. 

Participants will engage with research and practice that deepen our shared understanding of developmentally appropriate education while gaining resources for advocacy, reflection, and continued professional growth. Alliance member registration opens October 14, 2026; general registration opens October 28, 2026. Illinois-certified teachers are eligible for Gateways and ISBE professional development credits.
