The conference which targets nurseries community in Lebanon, particularly in the North, aims at spreading ground rules for daycare through the assistance of early childhood specialists and the latest scientific techniques in the field. On the occasion, Violet Safadi, sponsor of the conference, stressed the contributing and pivotal role of daycares in establishing and shaping the personality of the children during their early formative years, urging nurseries to coordinate closely with the Syndicate to this effect.
