It is important that we all work together to provide learners in the early years with a sense of belonging, a seamless transition to school, and initiate a lifelong relationship with learning. This ACEL Conference will focus on the various factors that contribute to the development of the whole learner, from the early years and onwards with a focus on inclusion. As always, the ACEL Early Childhood Conference program showcases current research, policy and practice, highlighting key challenges that exist in the environment. The structure of the program over the two days is as follows: • Keynotes who are international and national leaders in developing or implementing leadership in early childhood education; • Reflections from a panel of Early Years experts; • Early Childhood showcase – short presentations of innovative ideas from ECE professionals around the country • Concurrent workshops where delegates are informed of current research, innovations or structures in or impacting on early childhood education.
