Our Mission: To advance an equitable society by supporting early childhood educators and parents who seek to provide the highest quality care for children.

"The most helpful part of the training was learning about child development stages and how to create activities that match each child’s needs and abilities. I will focus on using more age-appropriate teaching strategies to support infants’ and toddlers’ growth. I’ll also work on improving my observation and documentation skills to better track each child’s development and needs."

"I truly enjoyed the training and found it both engaging and inspiring. I appreciate all the support and resources you and your team provide for professional development. I will definitely review the upcoming training calendars and hope to join more sessions in the future. Thank you again for your guidance and encouragement. I look forward to continuing my learning journey with your programs"

"It’s easier to work with my family schedule after long workdays - eliminates making a long day even longer with extra travel time and fuel expenses. I was able to take away so many valuable things to incorporate in the classroom. It was very meaningful to learn from the instructor as well as gain the perspectives and thoughts of everyone who joined virtually. We were given the opportunity to work together through breakout rooms as well as through the chat."

"We were able to interact with peers and learn different ways to bring diversity to our classrooms and centers.  Resources and group work opened the possibilities and different ideas I can incorporate at work. It brought further awareness to my lack of cultural/ inclusivity representation within my class through questions and strategies to improve."

"This training really showed that you can incorporate science into a lot of different aspects in the classroom. It doesn't always need to be structured or overly planned out. You can classify or observe other aspects. I will try and incorporate the 5 science elements more in my classroom. I found the training engaging because it included practical examples and interactive activities that I can apply with the children."

"Thank you! These trainings are always so great. Thank you for the wonderful resources. :)"

"It was informative and provided valuable educational content that supports my growth in the early childhood field. Its helped me gain practical knowledge I can apply directly to my daycare."

"I just want to say thank you to all you do to help us teachers improve."

"I’d like to share that the training gave me new insights into how small daily interactions can significantly impact children’s learning and development. I’m excited to apply these strategies and see the positive effects on the children I work with."

"It allowed me to gain new perspectives and better understand how others approach similar situations in childcare. it was insightful to see things through different lenses while also reflecting on my own views. I really enjoyed this class. 10/10!"

"I think it was awesome of you to allow our Infant/Toddler cohort sessions to continue with your support. These classes are supportive to childcare workers that help us to continue.

Thanks, you rock."

"When taking this pre-recorded training, I found the process to be very smooth and easy. The recording was easy to watch and engaging and allowed time for personal reflection. It also included a lot of information that is easy to implement in the classroom and helpful."

"This training was engaging because it allowed time for reflection about our own classrooms as well as insight on how to make changes for the benefit of the children."

"I found the training engaging. I especially liked the suggested book resources at the end of the training. I also like the idea of encouraging the parents to share home pictures to use to tell stories. One way I will change how I teach based on this training is to place pictures of children and their families on the wall in various places in the classroom and tell stories about the children. I also plan to take pictures of the children during the day and make little story books using small photo albums (I loved that idea).  I will educate my parents on the importance of building language rich environments."
