We are counting down the days until the Fourth Annual Northern Kentucky Leadership Conference, which is just around the corner. On Friday, May 14, we will look closely at how a director can really invest in quality care.  

Topics for the conference will include brain development, the importance of play, parent involvement, having an anti-bias curriculum and hiring and firing of staff. Participants will have the opportunity to receive five hours of professional development.  

Keynote speaker Larry Griffin is coming to the 4C conference through a generous sponsorship from Kaplan Early Learning Company, where Mr. Griffin works as a National Education Consultant and is one of their most dynamic and requested national speakers. He is a powerful speaker and draws from his vast experience in early education to make his presentations entertaining and relevant. He has trained thousands of teachers, administrators, and parents across this country and in Europe. Mr. Griffin has a B.A. in Early Childhood and Elementary Education and a M.Ed. in Education Administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Mr. Griffin consults with programs that are striving to create effective learning environments.  We are excited about Larry Griffin’s keynote and sessions, and are confident he will inspire administrators to achieve higher levels of quality.
