Why should I attend?

Throughout the event, we plan to have our very popular parent sessions, a place for parents to interact with each other and talk, engage, help, network and learn from each other in a virtual space.

We also plan to have several presentations on topics of interest to the 5p- community.  These presentations will be designed to last approximately 30 min with live Q&A time to follow.  The presentations themselves will either be live or pre-recorded.

Join us for social time with Virtual Coffee Breaks where families can interact and chat.  Get ready to dance at our Virtual Dance.
