Our Roots Since 2003
In 2003 we launched the Young Child Expo & Conferences at Fordham University in New York City. 5 speakers presented to 146 attendees in 1 day. By 2013, the NYC Conference grew to 4 days with 100 speakers attracting 1500 attendees, from 50 states and 20 countries. We were independently recognized as a Top 5 Early Childhood Conference in the United States and we also held conferences in Spokane, Washington, and Los Angeles. In 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we converted our in-person conference to a virtual conference and began building our online webinar platform. The Young Child Expo & Conference has now become Young Child Learning offering virtual and in-person webinars and workshops.
