The annual Arkansas Baptist WEE (Weekday Early Education) Workshops are coordinated and funded by the Evangelism and Church Growth Team of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention through Cooperative Program funds.
Registration fees are required to supplement the costs of presenters, printed handouts, lunches, and additional conference expenses. The workshops are designed to train directors, teachers and other staff of weekday programs, such as preschool day care, mothers’ day out, parents’ day out, and after-school care.
Our goal is to assist early childhood leaders in meeting needs and providing excellent learning experiences, especially for infants through kindergartners as they develop physically, mentally, socially-emotionally, and spiritually.
Early childhood leaders are encouraged to guide the spiritual development of young children by including Bible truths in their curriculum, working cooperatively with families, and providing a loving Christian environment while the child is in their care.
