The SFAYC Infant & Toddler Annual Conference 2011 was a great success!

Over 250 early childhood educators participated in the conference featuring Dr. Mimi Graham from Florida State University. The conference featured 16 breakout sessions related to infant and toddler attachment and social/emotional development.
