KAECECON | KY Assoc. for Early Childhood Education

WHAT IS KAECECON?

At KAECE, we are committed to fostering excellence in early childhood education. Our annual conference is designed for educators seeking inspiration and professional growth, featuring a full day of training that offers up to 6 ECE-TRIS continuing education hours. You'll have the chance to hear from exceptional keynote speakers and engage with leading exhibitors who provide valuable resources for your teaching toolkit. Together, let’s rise as educators and make a positive impact in the lives of young learners!

WHERE IS KAECECON?

The Newtown Campus of BCTC offers an ideal locale with generous class and exhibitor spaces for educators eager to enhance their craft. We champion collaboration and learning in early childhood education, bringing together professionals from all over Kentucky to share insights, strategies, and experiences. Being on a college campus inspires early childhood educators to commit to being active and lifelong learners themselves. Come join us to explore fresh ideas while enjoying the picturesque landscape that surrounds us!

WHEN IS KAECECON?

Fall means the leaves begin to change, the Kentucky bluegrass nourishes our horses grazing on our scenic hills, and the temperatures slowly begin to cool. This vibrant season marks the perfect opportunity for our annual conference, where educators and advocates unite to learn, share, and grow. Join us in celebrating early childhood education as we cultivate fresh ideas and engage with inspiring speakers dedicated to shaping the future of our children. Together, we are creating brighter tomorrows in the heart of Central Kentucky.
