United 4 Children’s Foundation to Thrive Webinar Series seeks to enhance the community’s understanding of the importance of early childhood education. We will discuss the barriers to every child having the foundation to thrive, and how early childhood education plays a key role in building a promising future for our communities. Please join us via Zoom for our webinar series.

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 has traditionally been geared toward early childhood educators in the region. However, this year’s 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. Conference training sessions will be Missouri clock-hour approved professional development hours for early childhood educators. At the conclusion of the conference, we will host a networking event.

St. Louis for Kids and the Child Day Care Association merged in 2012, forming United 4 Children. In combining the two organizations, United 4 Children has been able to provide high-quality support to not only afterschool programs but childcare programs, as well. To celebrate 10 years of working with the community, United 4 Children will host 10 birthday celebrations throughout 2022 in honor of the organization’s 10th year!
