It was wonderful to see many of you at the 2026 Joint Annual Conference!
Presented by California Child Care R&R Network and Thriving Families California Foundation - Partnering for Impact: Strengthening Families and Supporting Communities brought together over 600 from our field, presenting over 65 workshops, 3 plenary sessions, multiple networking activities and fun movement opportunities.
