World Forum on
Early Care and Education
April 14-17, 2026
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Join Early Childhood professionals, colleagues and advocates from 50+ countries for an informative and inspiring experience as we assemble in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to grow a global movement to impact the futures of young children and their families. Expect open dialogue, sincere storytelling, and cross-culture curiosity as structured and informal opportunities will connect YOU with other like-minded individuals from across the globe.
In accord with its value of “Differences,” the World Forum Foundation supports diversity in participation through its Fellowship Fund. A limited amount for funding is available for individuals from communities with minimal financial resources, made possible due to the generous contributions of sponsors and donors. Fellowship awards will be announced the week of June 2, 2025. The Application Deadline is April 30, 2025.
