At the BlackECE Professional Development Institute, participants explore how affirming Black Language strengthens belonging, validates children’s voices, and transforms how we define professionalism in early care and education.

Language is power. Black Language carries history, identity, rhythm, and brilliance — a living archive of resistance and creativity.

Join us on a transformative journey designed to strengthen your leadership, affirm Black children’s brilliance, and expand culturally grounded practice in ECE.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this growing movement.
