Early Learning Events

We hope to see you at this month's Early Childhood Leadership Network hosted by Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) and facilitated by Starting Early

The purpose of this meeting is to convene diverse stakeholders in early childhood education—including parents, providers, community leaders, schools, health departments, and civic partners—to share resources, discuss key themes, highlight successes, and address challenges. The goal is to strengthen the early childhood system and create tangible benefits for children and families across the region.

The Seeds of Change: Early Education Initiative presents: Planting Seeds: Reimagining Early Care and Education Summit is more than an event—it's the start of a transformative journey to elevate Kansas City's early childhood workforce. We're bringing together passionate career-changers, community leaders, educators, and advocates to reimagine how we nurture our youngest learners. Through dynamic collaboration, innovation, and actionable strategies, we’re planting seeds today that will blossom into a stronger, thriving future for our children, our workforce, and our community.
