TREC and United Way Great Expectations are proud to offer scholarships for educators to attend the 2026 SAZAEYC Annual Conference—“The Architecture of Belonging: Building Spaces Where Every Child Fits” on November 21, 2026.
***Scholarships are offered to members/participants in the Great Expectations Communities of Practice for 2026-2027 and are early childhood educators who work directly with birth to five children.
