Do you have questions about what the brain science says about toddlers and touch screens, or how to select appropriate activities for infants? Perhaps you’d like to know how to effectively handle challenging behaviors with confidence? These are just a few of the questions that come up for parents, grandparents, teachers and others caring for young children. Questions like these will be asked and answered at this year’s Head to Toe Midwest Interactive Infant-Toddler Conference on June 1 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the University Center located at 525 S. State Street, Chicago.

The conference was created and is hosted by the Chicago Metropolitan Association for the Education of Young Children (Chicago Metro AEYC). People have relied on them as their go-to resource to build professional competence for 87 years. Open to the public, this conference is geared toward assisting parents, grandparents, educators, and practitioners of all kinds gain the practical knowledge they need to deepen their understanding on how to raise happy and healthy children ready for kindergarten.
