Save the Date for the 2026 Infant Toddler Conference

Michigan AEYC’s Infant-Toddler Conference will take place this December 11th in Auburn Hills, Michigan, bringing together approximately 300 professionals who support infants, toddlers, and their families.

This one-day conference is designed for infant and toddler classroom teachers, classroom assistants, specialists, home visitors, family child care providers, directors, coaches, early intervention professionals, mental health consultants, and other professionals who support infants and toddlers across center-based, home-based, or community-based settings.

We hope to create a space where professionals can deepen their knowledge, share practical strategies, and strengthen the relationships, routines, and learning experiences that shape the earliest years of development.

Request for Proposal

Submission Deadline September 15, 2026

We encourage presenters from all roles and experience levels to submit a proposal. Whether you are new to the field, emerging in your practice, or bringing years of expertise, we want to hear what is working in your classroom, program, home visiting practice, community, or system. We are especially interested in sessions focused on curriculum, infant and toddler development, family engagement, assessment, responsive caregiving, routines, social-emotional development, behavior, language development, cultural responsiveness, trauma-informed care, home visiting, relationship-based care, and practices that honor family voice, culture, and relationships.

Breakout sessions are 75 minutes and should be practical, engaging, and relevant to the everyday work of professionals supporting infants, toddlers, families, and the adults who care for them.
