June 25th, 2022 - 9:00am - 3:30pm (PST)

  • An Event to Inspire

    Our speakers are experts with diverse backgrounds and direct experience working within Early Years Settings. This year we are so fortunate to have speakers who not only talk the talk but also walk the walk in the meaningful work they do. They are truly inspiring.

  • A Chance to Recharge

    Often times we focus on children without taking a moment to reflect on ourselves and how we can recharge. Our focus this year is on supporting adults and helping children thrive. Our speakers will share information that is helpful for both educators and the children they care for.

  • A Balanced Approach

Early Years Consultant

Julie Hansen

I have been an Early Childhood Educator for 20 years, having received my Diploma in Early Childhood Education from Douglas College. Since then, I have gained experience in a variety of areas within the field of Early Childhood Education: Director of a preschool, supervisor of after-school care as well as 3-5 and Infant Toddler programs and centre management. My primary focus has evolved to encompass team leadership, management training and program development. I have had articles published in provincial and national ECE journals on the topic of emergent curriculum and leadership. My goal as an Early Childhood Educator and facilitator is to support fellow educators and early years professionals in providing high-quality early learning experiences for children and families.
