Developmental Designs for Early Childhood Education

6.5 hour Professional Development Strategies for reducing bias and strengthening equity in your Early Childhood Centers

We want to partner with your Early Childhood Center to both affirm your staff embodied knowledge, skills and abilities while boosting their knowledge, skills, and abilities to strengthen connections with your staff and the 0–3-year infants to school ready toddlers.  Our professional development is flexible, cost effective and takes your learners deeper into why early connections matter – they last a lifetime!

Price: $6,500 for up to 25 staff

Our workshop is designed to support and improve the capacities of early childhood professionals as a system and community.  For instance, caregivers, parent educators, center directors, state directors, paraprofessionals, social workers, counselors, and special education teachers from your Early Childhood Center can all attend the training at the same time, together.

Practices

  • Cultural Humility Practice. Filter shift to see the infant, toddler, parents with openness and curiosity.
  • Equity Practice. Moving from sameness to supporting the individual child in positive identity development and wellbeing.
  • Being both Warm and Demanding Practice. Incremental growth and redirects and discipline are done with dignity, empathy and compassion. 
  • Inclusive Practice.  Examining routines to meet the temperament and needs of our neurodiverse students.
