Help EMNB Inspire the Next Generation!

On November 3, the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce will host Youth CareerQuest, giving local students an opportunity to explore career paths and discover the possibilities within our community.

Early childhood education is an important part of our community's workforce, and I'd love to have EMNB represented with an engaging table that helps students learn more about the field and the many career opportunities it offers.

Would you be interested in volunteering with me at the EMNB table? Whether you're an early childhood professional, community partner, or simply passionate about supporting the next generation, I'd love to have you join us!

📅 November 3

Rain or shine, the show went on and our community showed up!

Last night we connected with incredible presenters, explored, learned, shared ideas, and picked up a few things to take right back into our work with young children and families.

There was plenty of learning, plenty of connection, and of course… a little Halloween fun along the way. 👻

I’m incredibly appreciative of everyone who came out and helped make this evening what it was. We’re excited to keep growing this event and bringing our early childhood community together.

And guess what? The Exchange will be back in January!

More connecting. More learning. More opportunities to build together.

The Early Childhood Exchange is almost here, and we're ready to get people in the room!

On October 1, we’re bringing together early childhood professionals, child care teachers, PK–3 educators, community partners, business leaders, and anyone who cares about the future of our youngest learners.

Come connect. share. learn. Meet someone new, share what’s working, hear new ideas, and be part of the conversations shaping early childhood in our community.

One week. One room. A whole lot of opportunity.

I’ll see you there!
