55th Annual Early Childhood Educators of BC Conference

It was a remarkable gift to join hundreds of early childhood educators at the 2026 conference, Thriving in Kinship: Inspire. Uplift. Celebrate.

With gratitude to Len Pierre for delivering such an engaging keynote address, participants were invited to reflect on land-based healing practices, the teachings of water, the teachings of fire, and the importance of process and letting go. It was an incredible way to begin a conference filled with reflection, learning, and awe.

Over two days, attendees enjoyed a wide range of inspiring workshop offerings, culminating in a beautiful closing session with Monique Gray Smith.

The gathering truly lived up to its theme—Inspire. Uplift. Celebrate.
