Keynote Speaker:

“Cultivating Knowledge, Harvesting Success”

This address will reference research and facts about the importance of surrounding children with love and care in a nurturing environment while encouraging participants to implement positive learning experiences that enhance brain development during those first years of life. Maria will also strengthen or increase participants’ knowledge about guiding children in a positive way based on developmental appropriate practices, individual needs and cultural background. Participants will leave this session with the understanding that by providing positive guidance and experiences today, they are helping children to live happy, successful, and responsible lives tomorrow as adults who are able to function as members of a productive society.
