“It was my dream to see my day care grow”
“Foundational relationship-building” helps child care providers improve their practice.
Professionalism in early childhood education
What does it look like and feel like to be “professional” in an early learning environment? How can early care and learning providers strengthen their sense of professionalism in the field?
“An incredible journey of learning”
Working in early childhood education and feeling responsible for the impact I make on young children and the partnerships and relationships I develop with families, I wanted to learn more to be a better leader.
Fostering curiosity and interest in young children
An essential strategy that I use as an early childhood educator to cultivate curiosity and stimulate children’s interest is to provide an environment that promotes exploration and inquiry.
Leading learning spaces for all learners
“Sometimes as leaders we feel like we need to have all the answers, but sometimes not having the answer and taking the time to ask the right questions can be so powerful.”
Free trainings for legally exempt child care providers
“Family child care providers can sometimes feel invisible and isolated, but this is their place to build relationships and give each other advice.”
Teaching For Social Justice Through Public Art
In child-centered early childhood classrooms, including my own, it can feel challenging to find projects that will be developmentally appropriate, productive, interesting, and open doors to critical thinking about the world and its history.
