What is the Impact Early Childhood Education Summit?

The cover of the 2024 Impact Summit Guidebook

PBS North Carolina presents a full day conference for educators across the state. What happens in the early years of a child’s life shapes the rest of their lives in important ways, but too often, those who are doing the work in those early years are overlooked in professional development and parenting support events.

Discover new strategies for helping our youngest learners (birth to grade 3) grow strong roots in literacy and beyond at this daylong event for educators, parents and caregivers. Attend presentations and breakout sessions, network with colleagues and earn contact hour credits on topics ranging from literacy, trauma-informed practices and cultural and linguistic inclusivity to community partnerships and improving communications with families.

This event was made possible by the generosity of our partner:
