Please join us along with hundreds of center-based child care providers, advocates, trainers, mentors, and leaders at our Annual Conference by the Land and Sea 2021 in Ocean City, Maryland from April 29 – May 2nd. MSCCA is excited to embark on the Next Chapter using a hybrid conference model to bring you our signature overall quality conference experience. Participants are limited on-site to 150 attending in-person at the Clarion Resort Fountainbleau Conference Center and Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland. MSCCA anticipates 150 participants in-person and 500 – 600 virtually at the 2021 conference. Center-based child care providers are predominantly women and are small business owners with the purchasing power for their child care program. The providers who attend our conference are focused on creating the ultimate child care environment, concentrating on safety and child development while in their care. MSCCA's Conference by Land & Sea 2021(CBTS) is the Maryland child care and early learning industry’s forum to collaborate and share best practices. Attendees are looking for training and networking experiences, as well as new products and services to support their work and business practices. In addition to providers, hundreds of mentors and advocates from local, state, and federal agencies who work with child care providers also attend the conference. These individuals influence hundreds of child care businesses when they return to their cities across the state. With many attendees expected from across Maryland, CBTS is the must attend event for the early childhood community. The 2021 conference offers four days of presentations by industry experts, awesome keynotes with national and state speakers, opportunities to interact with exhibitors, networking with peers, professional development, bonfires on the beach, Yoga, Trivia/Game Night and more!
