Bloom is Teaching Strategies’ new professional learning conference created for early childhood educators and leaders.

Get ready for an experience that brings together research-backed ideas, hands-on learning, meaningful connections, and moments of celebration. Learn alongside experts and fellow educators, discover practical strategies you can put to work right away, and leave with fresh ideas, new connections, and renewed energy for the work ahead.

Mark your calendars for July 19–21, 2027! We’re bringing Bloom to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin in Orlando, Florida.

On July 19, we’re offering an optional Leadership Pre-Conference, a dedicated day for program leaders and administrators to explore research and emerging practices and discover new ways to strengthen teaching and learning across their programs.

Our General Conference will be held from July 20–21, a day and a half designed to inspire, connect, and celebrate our early childhood educator community.

Bloom is designed for early childhood educators, teachers, coaches, administrators, and program leaders who are passionate about growing their practice and making a difference for children and families.

Whether you’re leading a classroom or supporting an entire program, you’ll find opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.

Bloom brings together opportunities to grow professionally, connect with fellow educators and leaders, and celebrate the impact that early childhood educators make every day.

Explore research-backed insights and practical strategies across topics such as early literacy, math, family engagement, change management, and individualizing learning. Plus, discover ways to save time with Teaching Strategies’ SmartTeach platform, strengthen implementation of The Creative Curriculum, and get the most from all the solutions you’re already using.

More details about sessions and speakers will be announced as we get closer to the event.
