Look What Parents Can Do!

The Chicago Early Learning Parent Conference is back and bigger than ever! Join us for a day for parents to be catered to, have fun and learn valuable information for home and beyond. Our goal is that parents would walk away from the conference feeling rejuvenated and better equipped to take on family, work and community challenges.

Parenting is the ultimate job. As a parent, you are constantly tending to your family and putting your own needs last. When was the last time you spent a day focused on yourself?

Parents are a huge influence on children’s development. In a household, parents wear so many hats daily. Some of these roles include financial planner, nutritionist, stylist, teacher, banker, chef, maid, advocate counselor and so much more. That is why the theme for this year’s conference, “Look What Parents Can Do!” is about focusing on you, the parent.

We hope you will join us for a fun-filled day of workshops, entertainments, giveaways and more! Don’t come alone! Bring a friend!
