Second Annual CFK Parenting Conference "Let's Celebrate Again" - November 2006
The Second Communities for Kids Parenting Conference was held in Penticton on November 4, 2006. Fifty-two participants enjoyed a day of sharing ideas and learning about the importance of early childhood development for children from birth to age 6.
Participants chose three workshops from important topics such as Building the Village, Effective Parenting, Parenting with Purpose, Strengthening Attachment, Recreation is M.A.G.I.C., Today’s Father, Storysacks and Setting Goals for Success. Joanne Schroeder, Community Liaison Coordinator with the Human Early Learning Partnership and the Provincial Advisor with the Children First ECD Community Development Initiative, gave the key note address on Vibrant Communities, Vibrant Children.
Display tables offered information on many aspects of caring for children, and wonderful door prizes donated by local businesses and agencies were given away throughout the day. Delicious refreshments and lunch were provided by a local caterer. Participants were thrilled to receive canvas tote bags full of valuable early childhood information and activity suggestions to take home.
Comments from the conference evaluation like, “Tons of fun. I learned so much today”, “Awesome courses, great prizes, and giveaways. Will be back next year”, have encouraged us to continue offering this dynamic opportunity to anyone interested in caring for young children.
