What happens when nearly 200 people who care deeply about children and families come together?

✨ Big ideas
✨ Lots of learning
✨ Meaningful connections

The 2026 VPCCN Innovations Conference was all that and more. From 24 amazing workshops facilitated by our very best, to hallway conversations that sparked collaboration, to fresh air and fun by the lake—it was a day that filled our cups and reminded us we’re not doing this work alone.

Thank you to everyone who made it so special—you are the heart of this work💛

Some of our staff traveled to Montpelier yesterday to attend Early Childhood Day at the Legislature, organized by the Vermont Early Childhood Advocacy Alliance. This annual event brings together educators, parents, and advocates from across the state to connect with lawmakers and speak up for Vermont’s youngest children.

Throughout the day, participants attended workshops, met with legislators, and supported the 2026 early childhood legislative agenda—focused on strengthening the early childhood workforce and improving access to child care for families.

We were also grateful for the opportunity to connect with Representatives Kristi Morris, Alice Emmons, and John Bartholomew to talk about the importance of supporting children, families, and early childhood professionals in our community.

We’re proud to be part of the conversation and to advocate for strong supports for families in our region. 💛
