Join PBS North Carolina at our Annual Impact Early Childhood Education Summit

The Impact Early Childhood Education Summit is a gathering of Early Childhood Education Professionals, parents and caregivers aimed at celebrating and supporting those who are helping children, birth through third grade, to grow strong roots for a healthy foundation. Enjoy presentations and breakout sessions, network with colleagues and earn contact hour credits on art integration, educational media, STEM curriculum, equity in education, parenting and more.

Breakout Session Proposals

PBS North Carolina invites our early childhood education community to submit breakout session proposals for consideration. Breakout sessions are a highlight and give participants relevant content that informs and engages participants, centered on this year’s theme, “Honoring and Supporting the Whole Child.” Our aim is for participants to return to early childhood settings with deeper knowledge and ready to deploy strategies, igniting success for young learners.

Submit your breakout session proposal by February 26, 2024. >

Registration opens April 1st.

Teachers may use this Impact Summit for Continuing Education Units. 

PBS North Carolina presents a full day conference for educators across the state. What happens in the early years of a child’s life shapes the rest of their lives in important ways, but too often, those who are doing the work in those early years are overlooked in professional development and parenting support events.

Discover new strategies for helping our youngest learners (birth to grade 3) grow strong roots in literacy and beyond at this daylong event for educators, parents and caregivers. Attend presentations and breakout sessions, network with colleagues and earn contact hour credits on topics ranging from art integration, educational media and STEM curriculum to equity in education and parenting. 

This event is made possible by the generosity of our partners:

North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development and Early Education
