[ELmaine] In Bloom in Maine, Nature-based Early Childhood conference

[Madore, Nicole]

Good morning and Happy Week of the Young Child!

I wanted to share the following opportunity with you.

Antioch University's: In Bloom in Maine, Nature-based Early Childhood conference

The unique, laughter-filled, mostly outdoor conference has an incredible group of keynote presenters and workshop facilitators this year. It is usually full by now, so I would love help with another push. Maine Early Childhood Outdoors (MeECO), UMF's new nature-based certificate program, Educare Central Maine, Antioch's nature-based M.Ed. & certificate programs, MaineAEYC, and Inside-Outside Nature-based Educators Network will all be represented as well. We will be debuting a film that highlights Educare Central Maine's shift to nature-based learning.

The conference is on Saturday, June 15, 2024 at Educare Central Maine in Waterville.

Here is the link<https://www.antioch.edu/annual-events/in-bloom-conferences/> to the conference website that participants can use to register for the conference (there are 3 Northeast regional In Bloom conferences coming up over the next 3 months).

The brochure is available by clicking on the heading of the In Bloom in Maine section and downloading the .PDF.

Please contact Anne Stires directly with any questions.
