MNAFEE Conference 2025!
Be inspired. Be uplifted. Be reminded of our collective impact.
This year’s conference theme, Finding Joy! …with a Little Help from Your Friends, celebrates the power of community, collaboration, and the joy that comes from supporting one another. As we gather together, we’ll explore how we can spark joy in our work, our classrooms, and our families—while connecting with others who share the same passion for early childhood education. Join us to be inspired, uplifted, and reminded of the incredible impact we can make when we lean on each other.
