Building the Preschool to Promise Pipeline Conference
October 11-14, 2023
United 4 Children’s annual Building the Preschool to Promise Pipeline Conference aims to disrupt the preschool to prison pipeline by providing education and resources needed to build equity in early childhood education.
United 4 Children’s annual conference offers early childhood educators in the region an opportunity to receive professoinal development that is Missouri clock-hour approved. The conference also will be open to all community members interested in learning more about early childhood education’s key role in building a promising future for our community.
In an abundance of caution for our community and team, our conference training sessions will be virtual again this year, with an opportunity to join in-person for our panel discussion on the Saturday of the conference week.

Sponsor United 4 Children’s Building the Preschool to Promise Pipeline Conference
Poverty and systemic racism contribute to inequitable access to quality early childhood education (ECE). Some children have access to an excellent ECE, but others don’t. Children without access to quality ECE can experience developmental delays, excess conflict, lack of self-regulation, and lack kindergarten-readiness. These social-emotional and academic foundations are linked to major life outcomes that impact the larger community — including educational attainment, job readiness, earning potential, healthy relationships, and the likelihood of incarceration.
