PACE understands that well-educated, professional teachers and directors relates directly to their ability to offer high quality programs for young children. PACE provides members with effective, targeted, well-designed continuing education options because we feel, “Who is better equipped to provide educational programming for center-based staff than their own professional association?”

What we offer:

PACE Conferences: PACE hosts two conferences each year where members can learn, grow, and network with one another. In the Spring PACE host its Leadership Conference, offering over 25 workshop choices. In the Fall PACE hosts our Annual Fall Conference, with over the 40 workshop choices and separate tracks for directors and teachers.
PACE's 39th Annual Fall Conference!

Regional Trainings: PACE offers quarterly Regional Trainings each year. Each quarter one presentation will tour to different PACE Regions. These trainings are a perfect opportunity to network with peers.
