The fourth Early Years Conference will explore how relationships influence a child's emotional experiences and life-long well being. How do our services contribute to a family's growth and happiness? How do we promote the physical, emotional and spiritual growth of a child? As service providers, how do our relationships with families support the health and happiness of children?

children, families, communities, support programs and professional services. Workshops will include discussions of specific strategies for supporting children and families with varied abilities.
