Participants learn how to listen, respond, and guide children in ways that support trust, cooperation, and healthy social‑emotional development.
Explore how your childcare setup, routines, and environmental design directly influence behavior. We will also discover how thoughtful, developmentally appropriate limits guide behavior while still preserving curiosity, independence, and joy!

Trauma in Early Childhood

Young children may experience trauma through adverse experiences such as family stress, community violence, loss, or instability. These experiences can impact their behavior, development, and ability to form relationships. This training introduces early childhood professionals to trauma-informed practices that support children’s emotional safety and resilience. Participants will learn how trauma affects brain development and behavior, how to recognize possible trauma responses in young children, and how supportive relationships and environments can promote healing.

The co- teaching playbook: Communication
2026-05-20 12:00 - 13:00
Co-teaching in early childhood programs is different from the
K-12 classroom. Few resources are available for this type of
teaching relationship. In this workshop, we will focus on
communication, which is essential to a solid co-teaching
partnership. This session is part of a series where we will discuss
how to navigate, build, and strengthen our co-teaching
partnerships.

Trainer: Carrie Becker

How to communicate with your Program leader
2026-07-14 12:00 - 13:00
Communication plays an essential role in our daily lives as early
childhood professionals. Just the thought of communicating with
your program leader (especially in toxic situations) can be
enough to produce stress and anxiety. However, with some
preparation and practice, you can reach confident and effective
communication. Participants will gain the skills needed to
communicate clearly and effectively during this workshop
