The Weekday Early Education Ministry of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention seeks to support and encourage churches in preschool ministries and weekday programs such as Mother’s Day-out, weekday preschool, daycare, and after-school programs.

Weekday Early Education Workshops

The annual Arkansas Baptists Weekday Early Education Workshops (Explore, Discover, Grow) are the primary training events that seek to support and encourage churches in preschool ministries and weekday programs such as Mother’s Day-out, weekday preschool, daycare, and after-school programs. Children matter to God, and they matter to us.

The Explore, Discover, Grow Conferences are designed to train directors, teachers, preschool leaders, and other staff of preschool ministries and weekday early education programs in ABSC churches and other early childhood centers.

Our goal is to assist early childhood leaders in meeting needs and providing excellent learning experiences for infants through kindergarteners as they develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.
