What have early educators said about ACSI Professional Development events?
"I have been reminded that I must take care of myself before I can minister to and teach the children in my class. I must be a healthy shepherd for my flock. I want to help my children grow, learn, and flourish!"
"All the speakers we heard from were great! Thank you for creating conferences such as these to help us as educators grow and learn!”
"I thoroughly ENJOYED the speakers today and I cannot wait to take back the things I learned today to my classroom on Monday!! Thank you so very much! This is not my first year teaching, but my first year of our school starting a 3 year old preschool and what an exciting conference to help me see and implement learning with the Biblical views!"
