How can I support you?
Support
Educators are expected to show up every day, with answers to every problem, knowing how to find and kiss every boo-boo. We don’t receive a great deal of positive feedback from parents. It can be difficult to be keep the energy going, especially during flu or lice season!
In upbeat sessions (in person, I bring chocolate and on Zoom, there is song) we can work together to reconnect with the passion that brought you and your staff to this job we love.
It’s good to bring everyone back to basics. Who was Piaget and why does that matter? What are some tactics for classroom management that will give you many more tools in your tool box?

Setting up a new program
I started my career by starting a new preschool program. Four years later, I did it again. Did I know what I was doing? I did not! Luckily, there were people around me to knew how to get me started. From creating a budget and deciding what furniture and supplies to buy, to outreach to prospective families, having an experienced set of eyes and a good listener can be crucial to starting off on the right foot.
