WAEYC Conference 2026

Early childhood education professionals in Washington State attend, including NAEYC/WAEYC members and prospective members.

It is most useful for Washington State early childhood educators and NAEYC or WAEYC members, since the two days combined sessions by practitioner presenters, an exhibit hall and the annual member meeting. Staff in licensed facilities may also have found the cost lower because DCYF reimburses state-approved training once per fiscal year; educators outside Washington or those seeking a national-scale program would get less from it.

Early childhood educators at state association conferences usually wear comfortable business casual or casual clothing, such as slacks or jeans with a sweater, and flat shoes for two days of sessions and the exhibit hall.
