Less than one month until the Birth-to-Three Conference at Sophia's Hearth!💫

Visit www.sophiashearth.org/teachers/b3conference to register today!

Group discounts and bundle tickets (including the video recordings of part 1) are available!

We invite you to continue our journey through the four foundational senses. Last November (2025), we explored the Sense of Wellbeing or Sense of Life and will continue with this sense this year, focusing on caregiving.

How do we recognize the development of the sense of wellbeing and support it in our work? In the medical literature, the Sense of Wellbeing is referred to as Interoception – the process of sensing and interpreting the inner state of our body.

The conference is designed to help us deepen our understanding of the sense of wellbeing through caregiving activities, including care of our spaces, and renew our commitment to becoming healthy models for the children in our care.

Through presentation, meaningful conversation, videos, and personal experience, we will explore this sense and how we support it in our daily work with children.

As educators, the children in our care present challenges that offer us opportunities to grow. As they take steps in becoming, we too are enriched by the shared experience.

The conference is designed to give participants many opportunities to experience a sense of wellbeing through caregiving and explore practical ways to integrate this understanding into their work.

The conference presenters and panelists Jane Swain, Katherine Scharff, Paula Sousa, and Michelle Brooks will share their knowledge and experiences of working with the sense of wellbeing with children.

Heather Church will lead us through a reflective process to help integrate the conference content with our own experiences as caregivers of young children.

Back in August, we held our annual Fairy House Festival—a wonderful day filled with community, imagination, and fun for the whole family!

Thanks to the generous support of community members and sponsors like Eversource, the event was a great success and helped raise funds for the Sophia’s Hearth Scholarship Fund.

Scholarship support is a critical need for those dedicated individuals who have the heart to give to children but not the means. The generous funding from Eversource NH will help spread the unique approach of Sophia’s Hearth to student teachers all over the world.

We are especially grateful to Joe Hoebeke for stopping by the event and showing his support. When a community comes together to build something intentional, beautiful, and imaginative for young children and families, everyone benefits!

Thank you, Eversource for helping make this event possible!
