Strengthening the business behind early childhood education starts with strengthening the leaders behind it.

The 2026 Business Symposium is a focused experience created specifically for owners, directors, and administrators responsible for the operational and financial health of their programs. This isn’t a large conference—it’s an intentional space for deeper conversations, practical strategies, and meaningful connections with leaders facing similar challenges.

From reading your numbers like a CEO and building enrollment systems that fill classrooms to staffing sustainability, risk management, and long-term growth, every session is designed around the real business challenges of early education leadership.

🗓️ September 25–26, 2026
📍 Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort | Pompano Beach, FL

Join us for two days of strategy, connection, and business-focused learning designed to help your program thrive.
