LPP Will Be Attending the CAEYC Conference on March 24th

Little Pickle Press is ever on the look-out for philosophical partnerships, and The California Association for the Education of Young Children (CAEYC) is without question a kindred spirit on many levels. They state on their webpage:

CAEYC envisions a respected professional workforce providing developmentally appropriate and culturally sensitive, high-quality, early care and education for all young children achieved through research, education, professional development and advocacy.

Independent affiliate members of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the CAEYC is one of 430 nationwide affiliates, and itself has over 8,000 members. Therefore, it is a vital and influential organization for those involved with the welfare of children and their education at an early age.

One of its major projects, the CAEYC Annual Conference and Expo, is coming up on March 24-26 at the Sacramento Convention Center. This year’s theme is We’re Better Together: Collaborating to Improve the Lives of Children.

Three members of the Little Pickle Press team will be walking the conference for a day with various goals in mind. Here is what each hopes to gain from the experience:

Jenni Kirshman, Sales Associate, Northern California: (1) To identify potential customers; (2) to learn about the state of the art in early childhood education; (3) in particular, I'm looking forward to listening to Dr. Bruce Perry's (http://www.childtrauma.org/images/stories/bios/perry_bio_10.pdf) keynote address.

Leslie Iorillo, Director, Art & Marketing: (1) to identify brand-appropriate partners; and (2) to deepen my knowledge of early childhood education so we can develop products and services that best serve teachers.

Cameron Crane, Marketing Specialist: (1) to meet industry participants; (2) to tweet about developments at the conference and expo; and (3) to have some fun!
