Topics 

We have put the finishing touches on the lineup of brand new infant and toddler topics, And trust us, they are some of the strongest, most relevant sessions we’ve ever created. These topics were built from real classroom challenges, real teacher needs, and the real heart of infant-toddler care. This event isn't a Zoom. It will be a multi-camera broadcast studio event that will feel like a TV production.

Topic 1: Stop the Chaos: What REALLY Works With Infant & Toddler Behavior (Starting Tomorrow!)
Infant and toddler classrooms can go from calm to chaotic in seconds, and teachers need tools that work right now. This session delivers simple, effective strategies for calming the room, preventing meltdowns, and responding to challenging behavior with confidence. You’ll learn:
•    What common behaviors are really communicating
•    How to respond in the first 5 seconds to stop escalation

Topic 3: Play Is Their Work: How Infants & Toddlers Learn Best
For infants and toddlers, learning happens in everyday moments, not fancy materials or long lessons. Discover how play-based learning is already teaching infants and toddlers what they need, and how to be more intentional without adding extra work.
•    Learn simple ways to support development without adding more to your plate.
•    Use play as a powerful tool for language, thinking, and social–emotional growth.
•    Turn daily routines (diapering, feeding, napping, transitions) into meaningful learning opportunities.

Topic 4: Screens, Sounds & Overload: Creating Calm Classrooms for Infants & Toddlers 
Today’s infants and toddlers are surrounded by constant noise, screens, and stimulation, and their little brains and bodies are feeling the effects.” Discover simple ways to dial down the overload and create calmer, more peaceful classrooms where infants and toddlers feel safe, settle, and thrive.
• Identify hidden sources of overstimulation like background noise and visual clutter
• Make simple changes to create calmer, more peaceful classroom environments
• Reduce noise and distractions without adding more work to your day
• Support children who struggle to settle, focus, or regulate

Topic 5: Transitions Without Tears: Smoother Diapering, Feeding, and Goodbyes for Infants & Toddlers
