Early Learning Symposium

Make plans to join us on Friday, May 1, at Bernheim Forest & Arboretum for KAEE's inaugural Early Learning Symposium. ​This one-day professional learning event is designed for early childhood educators across Kentucky interested in nature-based learning or environmental education. Sessions and speakers will focus on the foundational skills needed to take young learners outside safely and effectively use the power of the outdoor environment for learning. This event is a new platform for educators to discuss best practices, build skills, and network with peers who are committed to fostering a new generation of environmentally conscious and curious learners.

ECE-TRIS credit will be available! Registration opens in February 2026.

KAEE is proud to host this event in partnership with Bernheim Forest & Arboretum with the support of our Early Childhood Action Team. Learn more about our work in early childhood learning at kaee.org/early-childhood.
