For All You Cape Cod Parents and Kid People!

If you've never been to the Upper Cape Early Childhood Conference put on by the Upper Cape Family Network, five area Community Partnerships for Children, and the Child Care Network of the Cape and Islands, this is the year! It's on Saturday, October 31st, 7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Bourne High School, and will be jam packed with information and fun for parents, early childhood professionals, local businesses, policy makers, and anyone who has an interest in what our young children need and deserve. You can enjoy workshops, continental breakfast, a (free) Discovery toys Give-away, and raffle prizes -- all for $30.00.

Workshops include:

• Different Children, Different Needs (with Jeanine K. Fitzgerald)
• Building Bias-Free Foundations (with my frolleague Tracey Bromley Goodwin!)
• Everything You Always Wanted To Ask the Pediatrician… But ran Out of Time to Ask! (with Dr. Lisa Dobberteen)
• A Match Made in Heaven: NAEYC Guidelines and EEC Regulations
• And much more!

To register or for more information, email Tina Toran at ttoran@falmouth.k12.ma.us by October 16th.

While I'm plugging local events and thinking about Tracey, I also want to pass on information about a workshop for parents on Navigating ADHD she and her partner Holly Oberacker are holding in Sandwich on November 7. For more information or to register click here.

These people love kids, and I love these people - thanks for letting me share!
