The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) organised our 3rd annual Early Childhood Conference, with the theme "Start Small Dream Big: Reaching for the Stars", on 25 & 26 September 2015. The 2-day conference brought together international and local early childhood experts, curriculum specialists, trainers, academia and early childhood educators to share their insights, best practices and research developments on issues related to early childhood care and education.
Every big dream begins with a small step. The conference aims to inspire the early childhood fratenity to explore new possibilities in leadership development, curriculum and pedagogical practices, professional development and partnerships, and to reach for the stars in their work with young children and families.
We are pleased to share the post conference photographs, videos, plenary and concurrent session materials, and ECDA Award winners with you. Click on the buttons below!

Young children are highly inquisitive, and learn most effectively with activities that allow exploration and experimentation.
