The Early Childhood Regional Training Centers (RTCs) are partnering with the KY Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders (KYCCBD) for the 2026 Kentucky Behavior Institute at the Galt House, Louisville, KY on June 15-16, 2026. There are sessions for everyone at the Behavior Institute, and we’ve included several strands of sessions that are specifically for early childhood / preschool. Essential topics include positive behavior, student and family engagement, effective learning, social emotional learning, and proactive behavior supports.
