T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood has been a successful initiative in Iowa since 2003.  Over 1500 early care and education providers have taken advantage of this opportunity to earn college credits towards early childhood degrees, credentials and teaching licenses, attending nearly 30 different colleges in all corners of our state.  Over 800 of them have completed at least one degree, credential or license – to date!

On Tuesday, March 12, we are hosting a 10^th anniversary celebration for T.E.A.C.H., immediately following Early Childhood Iowa’s Day on the Hill.  We will gather at the State Historical Building from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m., looking back, honoring our funders, partners, and graduates, and looking forward to the future.  Attending will be Iowa leaders, Legislators, college faculty, and Early Childhood Iowa Alliance members as well.  We hope you’ll join us!

ACEs Summitt Invitation

Dr. Robert Anda, a world renowned researcher in the area of chronic disease epidemiology, will present his research in Des Moines on the afternoon of June 11, from 12:30-4:30 p.m.  He is the co-principal investigator of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study and a senior research consultant to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

The ACE study is one of the largest, on-going evaluations ever conducted that demonstrates the biomedical link between childhood experiences and later-life health and well-being.  He will present his findings that unpack underlying root causes behind youth and adult depression, anxiety, and suicide, as well as other leading disease and disabilities that effect everyday workplace, home, school and community environments.
