Untangling Early Childhood Education Conference 2026
The Untangling Conference brings together children, early childhood professionals, families, leaders, and community partners for practical learning, meaningful connection, and playful experiences that support young children and the adults who care for them. In 2026, we are leaning into Untangling Through Play with hands-on learning, character experiences, and strategies that bring development to life.
Get Ready to Untangle Through Play!
In 2026, Reader Raccoon, Theo Turtle, Finn Fox, Bella Butterfly, and Hopper Frog will help bring the conference theme to life through:
- Interactive Play Pal Stations
- Character appearances and playful conference moments
