So many church toddler groups have worked incredibly hard to support and engage families throughout this pandemic. No longer able to connect with families as before – they’ve had to find new ways  – they’ve had to change!

That’s why the theme of this year’s Care for the Family conference, Catalyst for Change, is so exciting; a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction and brings about change. You’ll explore how you can use what you’ve learnt and continue to be catalysts for change – sparking a reaction within your toddler groups and communities in the season ahead.

Workshops will include:

• Church and toddler groups: an explosive relationship
• Loving others and loving yourself
• Being creative throughout the year with Christian festivals
