Join MDAEYC and GatherRound with collaboration from The Children’s Opportunity Alliance for an inspiring and energizing evening as we kick off the Maryland tour of the powerful documentary Make a Circle! Our first stop brings us to the beautiful BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown, Maryland, and you won’t want to miss it. The film will be shown with Spanish captions, ensuring broader accessibility for our community.
We are thrilled to invite early childhood educators, families, advocates, and leaders from across the field to come together for this meaningful event. This experience centers on children and the future of early childhood education, but please note, this event is designed for adults.
Thanks to the generous support of our community, this evening is offered at no cost to early childhood educators—a small way to honor the essential and transformative work they do every day. We also warmly welcome members of our broader community of care and anyone who supports this work. If you are in a position to do so, donations can be made on the EventBrite page and are deeply appreciated, helping us continue to create opportunities like this one.
Get ready for a night that feels a little like a premiere. Enjoy popcorn and drinks on us while you settle in for the screening. We are rolling out the red carpet, so come dressed to impress or just as you are and take advantage of our fun photo opportunities. You might even snap a picture with some of your favorite early childhood champions.
More than just a film, this is a moment to connect, reflect, and be inspired. Make a Circle shares a powerful story of advocacy, resilience, and what is possible when we come together for children, families, and our communities.
Let’s gather, celebrate, and spark conversation—because when we unite around early childhood education, incredible things happen. We cannot wait to see you there.
