ECE Conference 2026

Our conference invites passionate educators of children age 0-8 to reflect, connect, and reimagine practice through the lenses of windows and mirrors.

Presentations can be delivered in both English and Chinese

This year’s conference dives into four powerful strands:

1. Windows to the future: technology, play, agency
   Windows to the Future turns play, conversation, and inquiry into meaningful learning by weaving technology thoughtfully into documentation, communication, collaboration, instruction, and discovery. Above all, it keeps children's agency at the center nurturing them to wonder, and to keep wondering, about the future.
2. Windows into your classroom: learning spaces, inspiring teaching, student learning
   Windows into your Classroom invites educators to open their doors and share authentic practices from their learning spaces. Through storytelling, and documentation, teachers make their thinking visible, offering insights into how children’s ideas, identities, and inquiries are nurtured in everyday moments. It invites educators to connect and reimagine their practice through the experiences of others. Share the celebrations in your classroom and showcase authentic student work. 
3. Mirrors into our practice: pedagogy, leadership, reflection 
   Mirrors into our Practice invites educators and leaders to pause, reflect, and look closely at the work they do every day. It creates space for a wide range of perspectives, from practice and pedagogical documentation to leadership, collaboration, and the challenges that shape our work.  This strand focuses on the real work of practice, the decisions we make, the moments we navigate, and the thinking that sits behind them. It is a space to question, challenge, and refine practice, recognizing that meaningful change begins with self-awareness. By holding a mirror to our practice together, we strengthen the way we think, lead, and respond in our everyday work. 
4. Mirrors of the community: inclusive partnerships, cultures, voices 
   With a community-centered lens, we will explore how schools can serve as “mirrors” reflecting the identities, cultures, and voices of the families they serve. Together, we will consider what it truly means to create inclusive, connected learning communities where every voice matters.  Join us as we share practical ways to strengthen family and community partnerships and bring to life the belief that it truly takes a village to raise a child.
