Kids First 2009
The Kids First Conference for 2009 is scheduled for April 27, 28 and 29
at the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center in Ames, Iowa.
We are so pleased to announce that our Pre-Conference Speaker will be Jane Cobb. If you work with preschool children, chances are that you're more than familiar with Jane Cobb's fantastic resource I'm a Little Teapot: Presenting Preschool Storytime. Jane Cobb's new book What'll I Do with the Baby-o? Nursery Rhymes, Songs, and Stories for Babies is sure to become a similar staple for anyone providing early literacy programming.
The Pre-Conference on Monday, April 27 will be devoted entirely to storytimes - for preschoolers, for toddlers and for babies.
So far we have three Conference speakers to look forward to.
