April 18th Training Update

We are excited to offer two professional learning opportunities on April 18 led by Shantel McTeer-McRae and Shirleen Davis with Purpose Partners Consulting.

Nurturing Early Literacy
Curriculum
8:30 AM – 11:00 AM
Early learning lays the groundwork for a child’s educational journey and has a profound impact on overall brain development. Gaining a deeper understanding of early literacy helps educators effectively support children’s language and literacy development during their crucial early years. As noted by Jan Hasbrouck, “It’s so, so, so important that we help every child, or as many children as we can—which we know is almost every child—become a skillful reader.”

This training will provide knowledge of resources and techniques to strengthen early literacy in child care and classroom settings. Participants will explore the role literacy plays in the daily lives of infants and toddlers, including reading experiences, fine motor development, and embedding literacy into everyday routines.

A Peaceful Guide to a Proactive Classroom
Professional Development
11:30 AM – 2:00 PM
This training equips early childhood educators with proactive classroom strategies that create peaceful learning environments, reduce challenging behaviors, and support children’s social-emotional development. Participants will explore how classroom environments, routines, relationships, and guidance strategies influence children’s behavior and learning. Through discussion, reflection, and practical activities, providers will learn to prevent challenging behaviors before they occur while fostering positive relationships and self-regulation skills in young children.
