The event will include "Fabulous Friday," an all-day conference for child care providers and early childhood educators where they can learn about the different resources available to help improve teaching skills.
Ferguson, Patsy Todt, Amy Holsinger and Amanda Hendrick from the Toombs Children's Learning Center and Mary E. Cummings and Patrick Leedom from SSU will speak at the conference.
The conference also will celebrate "Friend of Children" award. Honorees will be r recognized at the "Fabulous Friday" regional campus conference.
