Child Development Podcast
Here's something on the web for you to check out... A new monthly podcast series, produced by FPG Child Development Institute (FPG) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will provide parents, child care providers, policymakers, and early childhood professionals with the latest research findings in early childhood development. Each episode will feature an interview with a researcher to learn more about a study recently published in a peer-reviewed journal.
For more information and the current issue, "Can child care impact risk of depression?," go to http://www.fpg.unc.edu/news/podcasts.cfm

Well, I'm off to California....
Will be flying out early tomorrow morning to Anaheim, California for the 17th Annual NAFCC National Conference Sponsored by the National Association for Family Child Care, and hosted by the California Association for Family Child Care. This year's Annual Conference is titled Family Child Care: Foundations for the Future.
The conference, held at the Anaheim Marriott Hotel, will feature distinguished keynote speakers and address how to improve the quality of the field and discuss modern early childhood education practices. Believe it or not, I am one of this year's "distinguished speakers" and will be presenting a pre-conference class as well as two workshops during the weekend.
Looking forward to the trip and to see people that I haven't seen since last year's conference!
