Young Child Expo

About us

The Young Child Expo & Conference began in 2003 as a joint professional development project of Fordham University's Graduate School of Education and Los Niños Services. Our goal is simple – to provide useful information to professionals and parents in order to help all young children learn, grow and reach their full potential. We aim to bring everyone who works with young children together to learn and grow: teachers, psychologists, special education teachers, social workers, physical, occupational and speech therapists, pediatricians, nurses, educators, academics and students. We were founded by Dr. Scott Mesh CEO of Los Niños Services and Dr. Vincent Alfonso, currently Dean of the School of Education at Gonzaga University. Our New York City conference attracts over 1,000 attendees from around the world, and we will offer our first Young Child Expo & Conference in October, 2015 in Spokane, Washington.
