The Childhood Project: A Return to Play Conference

Hosted by Creative Spirit Foundation for Play Nonprofit The Childhood Project was created from a simple but urgent belief: childhood needs protecting, and play needs defending. This conference will bring together early childhood educators, advocates, and leaders who believe children deserve more time, freedom, connection, wonder, and authentic play. Rather than a traditional conference experience, we are creating something intentionally smaller, more personal, and deeply rooted in practice. Attendees will have opportunities to gather as a larger community while also participating in intimate presentations and hands-on experiences within real early childhood environments. This conference has been thoughtfully designed so you won’t miss an experience. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from every speaker and participate in every presentation.
