DescriptionJim Gill - A Joyous Way to Learn
Music Play to Promote Readiness, Literacy, Math Development and Inclusion
This lively session incorporates Jim's most recent songs as well as in-depth discussion connecting music play with school readiness, literacy development and early math development. Early childhood professionals will leave the session inspired to share a new repertoire of songs and playful literacy activities with the children they care for. Even more, they will leave the session understanding that what is most challenging about working in early childhood is also what makes the profession so exciting. When we define our teaching as helping children learn, we not only provide joyous challenges for the children. We also keep ourselves engaged and rejuvenated by watching their excitement as they learn.

The Mountain Mover: Uncovering the Gold in Everyday Momentum
Educators and Caregivers don't just handle heavy workloads—they bring energy, dedication, and heart to everything they do. But when the daily pace gets fast and demanding, it’s easy to focus solely on the next task and miss the incredible wins, connections, and breakthroughs happening right in front of us.
In this energizing, highly interactive 90-minute keynote, Brett Barfield brings a refreshing blend of warm humor, real-world military stories, and hands-on exercises designed to reignite your passion and purpose. Brett takes audiences on an inspiring journey to discover how turning simple daily habits into powerful moments of clarity can transform team culture. You’ll walk away energized, connected, and equipped to spot the "gold" in your work, celebrate your teammates, and build unstoppable momentum together.
