**The New Haven Chapter has made a conscious decision to keep pricing low because we want to acknowledge how hard early childhood professionals work and give you the best value for your hard earned money. 

​

We also want to make this exciting and extraordinary opportunity available to as many people as possible. A silver lining of the pandemic is that we can offer this unique virtual program at so little cost to you. 

​

There’s nothing like hearing from current classroom teachers, who are also nationally recognized as leaders in our field, about their work around  Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) issues that are so relevant to our world today. 

​

Prepare to be energized, inspired, and challenged to expand your teaching practices!

**What’s the angel option? Maybe you can be an “angel” and give to this fund  to ensure that the New Haven chapter and CTAEYC can keep programming affordable, vibrant, dynamic, and relevant to your professional development interests and requirements.
