Grief can show up in many ways in our early childhood work. In this session we will look at grief through multiple lenses. We will look at grief that can occur as a result of pregnancy losses for family members and also for ourselves as professionals. We will also look through the lens of grief within home visits & early childhood classroom settings through the loss of a friend, pet or a teacher who may move away, change classrooms, or the loss through death.  Self-care strategies will be a part of the interactive workshop.

View the culture of childhood through a whole new lens. The training is based on the book Culture of Childhood and focuses on helping caregivers recognize the language of play so they can more fully engage with and support children in play, celebrate children's rich imaginary belief systems, and explore the curiosity-driven arts and culture of children with a focus on process and child-centered creativity. In this training we will examine various elements of childhood culture: language, belief economics, arts, and social structure to understand children's dispositions of questioning, engagement, and cooperation.

In this two-session training, participants will explore the essential role of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in creating nurturing environments for both educators and children. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of the neurobiology of the brain, emphasizing how the adult and the child’s socio-emotional development are interconnected. Focusing and reflecting on the five core SEL competencies, participants will learn how to apply them in their own roles, fostering a supportive and emotionally focused environment.
