Description

Join the New Mexico Early Childhood Association (NMECA) for our 2025 Annual Conference, Peaceful Paths—a two-day gathering created especially for early childhood professionals seeking renewal, inspiration, and growth.

As our field continues to navigate increasing demands and burnout, Peaceful Paths offers a much-needed opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and focus on your well-being and professional journey. It’s a place to reconnect with your passion, reflect on your purpose, and recharge your energy alongside peers who understand your path.

Friday, September 12 features an exclusive Leadership Track designed specifically for owners, directors, and emerging leaders. Spend the day gaining practical leadership tools, sharing challenges, and building community with fellow early childhood leaders from across the state.

Saturday, September 13 welcomes all early childhood professionals—including those in early care and education, early intervention, and home visiting—for a full day of high-quality sessions, wellness workshops, and community-building experiences.

What to Expect:

• High-impact professional development sessions led by local and national leaders in early childhood education
• Interactive wellness workshops designed to restore balance and prevent burnout
• Networking opportunities that foster meaningful connections and collaboration
• Community celebrations that honor the resilience and dedication of our workforce

Whether you're a provider, educator, director, or student in the early childhood field, this is your moment to refocus, re-center, and re-energize. You’ll leave empowered with new tools, strategies, and relationships to carry your work forward with renewed purpose.
