Make Way for Play

Elevating Play Experiences through Joy & Learning

Registration info coming soon!

WHY: Playtopia is dedicated to engaging early education professionals by being heavily interactive and urging them to recognize and champion “play” as a fundamental right for everyone—children and adults—and not just a childhood luxury. Play is a powerful resource that not only fosters robust development in children but also supports well-being and learning for adults. Ultimately, everyone attending the conference will believe: Play brings joy and serves as the basis of all learning and development across the lifespan.

WHO: Playtopia is for all early childhood professionals who work with, for, and/or on behalf of children 0-8 years (including but not limited to center based programs, family child care providers, family engagement & support, advocates, and home visitors).
