HEARTFELT THANKS to the Board of Directors, and ALL of our Guiding Lights, Suppliers, and Associations! Our rich and diverse pool of expertise in the International Association of Child Development Programs gives rise to a fantastic array of short video interviews and articles in each edition.

In the last quarter of 2022, I was fortunate enough to get an invitation to the Institute of Child Activity Programs (ICAP) in the United Kingdom (UK).

It was absolutely lovely to witness first-hand what these creative and entrepreneurial people had developed. Many new friendships blossomed and you can get a feel for the journeys of several of these leaders in the video interviews in this edition!

Note: at the May 2-4, 2023 Conference above, our IACDP Awards Dinner will focus the IACDP SPOTLIGHT on several deserving Members as we honor our first Awards inductees in the categories of Outstanding Contribution, Hall of Fame, and Lifetime Achievement!
