Professional Development Offerings for Early Childhood Leaders & Staff

School/center leaders are strategically focused on children’s development and early achievement. They nurture trust, collective understanding, and responsibility for excellence and improvement among staff and families.

Teachers are committed to the school/center and champion collaboration as the path to success. They build strong relationships with colleagues and work together to continuously improve teaching and children’s learning.

Staff build responsive relationships with families and actively support their engagement with the program, community, and children’s learning. Families learn the lasting skill of advocating for their children’s success.

School/center is a physically and emotionally safe and engaging environment. Staff hold high expectations for children’s social and emotional and academic learning, coupled with nurturing, individualized support for children and families.

Educators provide consistently engaging, rigorous, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Teachers prioritize inquiry-based teaching and learning, differentiated instruction, and reflective planning to ensure progress and growth.

Through staff and family surveys, teachers and families inform the measurement of the essential conditions and drive program improvement plans. By valuing both perspectives, schools/centers develop more effective strategies for child, staff, and family success.
