Countdown Until the CTAEYC Annual Conference:

NaN days, NaN hours, NaN minutes, NaN seconds

We’re excited to offer two fantastic evening events during the CTAEYC Annual Conference and we’d love for you to join us! On Thursday night, get creative at our Board & Brush “Pick Your Project” Night, where you’ll make a personalized wood sign while enjoying appetizers and a cash bar. Then on Friday night, get ready to laugh with Mr. Williams Pre-K during a lively Night of Comedy, complete with appetizers for the table and a cash bar.

Friday Night, September 26Night of Comedy

Mr. Williams Pre-K is a beloved early childhood educator turned viral sensation, known for bringing humor, heart, and real-talk to the world of Pre-K. With a perfect mix of comedy and classroom wisdom, he shares the highs, lows, and hilarity of teaching young learners. Whether he’s on stage or online, Mr. Williams has a knack for making educators laugh, relate, and feel seen. Don’t miss your chance to catch him live for a Night of Comedy you won’t forget!

We’d love to have you join us for a night of laughs in support of early childhood! However, we want to give you a heads-up that this event is full of humor, and comedy can be a bit... edgy. If you’re easily offended or uncomfortable with jokes that push the envelope, we recommend sitting this one out. We’re all here for a good time, but we want to make sure everyone feels comfortable in the spirit of fun!

Let’s keep it light, laugh hard, and support a great cause! Click to view a message from Mr. Williams: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TLi0_SkZpa8
