Founded in 2009, Early Childhood Investigations is a free ongoing series of conference-quality webinars for the early care and education workforce. Initially launched by founder Fran Simon, M.Ed., and Engagement Strategies, Playground Software assumed production of the series in 2025. The webinars have been presented by thought leaders and experts in early education since its inception. They explore critical topics that offer new ideas and insights to early childhood professionals, especially administrators.
Our goal is to offer professional development opportunities that transcend the obstacles of distance, time, and money by providing conference-quality early childhood webinars.
We want to spark discussion in the early education community and engage and motivate directors, teachers, and all those who support families and children.
