2025 Child Care Council Fall Conference

• Saturday, October 25, 2025, 8:30 AM - 3:15 PM

Get ready for a full day of learning, connection, and inspiration at our annual Fall Conference — designed for child care providers who want fresh ideas, practical skills, and meaningful networking opportunities.

This year’s sessions include:

• Inside Play – Take a Hike! with The Risky Play Gurus, Karin Brinkerhoff & McKenna Clark — Explore how to incorporate nature-based and risky play into your program while keeping safety in mind. Learn Leave No Trace principles, hear stories from the field, and discover how to start small but think big with outdoor learning.

• New and Common Poison Exposures in NYS with Amy Hoffman-James — Gain up-to-date information on the most common poison risks and prevention strategies, including the rise in cannabis-related calls to the Upstate New York Poison Center.

• Developing Pre-Writing Skills with Emily Rundle — Learn fun, engaging activities that build the essential skills children need to be ready for writing — starting as early as age two.

• Introduction to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) with Lindsey Behr — Understand how early trauma impacts children and explore science-based strategies for creating calm, supportive environments.

Whether you’re looking for hands-on activities, updated safety practices, or deeper insight into child development, this conference will equip you with tools you can put into practice immediately.
