Hawai'i Island Early Childhood Conference 2025

Info: Ho‘ohana: Reclaiming Your Intention and Purpose in the Work That Matters Most
At the heart of teaching is not just what you do — it’s who you are. And in the rush of early childhood education, it’s easy to forget that the wisdom, clarity, and strength you need aren’t outside of you — they’re already within. Guided by the Hawaiian value of Ho‘ohana — purposeful, wholehearted work — this is a call to reconnect with the intention that first brought you to this profession. Through storytelling, reflection, and grounded insights from the classroom, you’ll be invited to pause, breathe, and return to yourself.
This isn’t about fixing yourself or adding more to your plate. It’s about remembering that you already hold what you need - and learning how to bring it forward, again and again, in service of yourself and your students.
