Fall Institute registration is officially closed!
We would like to thank all of the sponsors that helped make this event possible: Aureon, Branagh Group, Inc., Care 4 Kids, Iowa Child Care Resource & Referral, Kaplan Early Learning Company, Lakeshore Learning, Northwestern College, Iowa, and West Bank Strong!
Without these generous organizations, our Fall Institute wouldn’t be able to serve nearly as many early care and education professionals at such a high level of quality. Thank you!
