Join NYAEYC for an unforgettable evening at the Buffalo History Museum on June 10, 2026. 📽️

NYAEYC will be hosting a one-hour screening of Make a Circle — a love letter to early educators and a rallying cry for a child care system in crisis. The film follows a group of child care educators who are determined to change how society values the education of its youngest citizens, weaving together the magic they create in the classroom, the struggles they endure at home, and their tireless activism for their profession.

After the screening, join our panelists, Diane Abram, Joe Cozzo, Sheri Scavone, and Cheryl Williams-Manney, for a moderated discussion led by Rachel Bonsignore on what this film means for our work, our profession, and the children we serve.

Screening begins at 5:35 PM. Seating is limited, so reserve your spot today.

🌟When: June 10 from 5:30pm – 8:00pm

🌟Where: Buffalo History Museum, 1 Museum Ct, Buffalo, NY 14216
