Participants at a Chadron State College conference will again learn ways to improve their child care and education skills. Chadron State College’s 17th Excellence in Early Childhood Conference is Friday and Saturday, Feb. 24-25.
Conference participants will attain information about a wide range of topics related to child care, including innovative ways to incorporate music, art, humor and cooking to a child’s learning experiences, and tips on time management and discipline. The conference’s theme is “United We Stand for Children … As We Discover the Power of Wellness.”
Barbara Coloroso of Littleton, Colo., will be the keynote presenter. The speaker will talk about ways to handle bullying and guidance for helping students become self-disciplined, compassionate and responsible.
