What’s Happening in April!

As a School Age educator, how are you fostering social and emotional learning and creating connections in your program? How do you share your calm with the children? How do you support children who are experiencing trauma in their lives?

Let’s talk about it! Join this interactive learning community and meet others who are working with School Age children in licensed childcare settings.

Welcome to an interactive session for the all–age groups of child care professionals. Whether you are currently working in a licensed care setting, studying, volunteering or simply curious about it, join the group for an informal discussion including how you incorporate the foundations of How Does Learning Happen? What are the components that make a program a successful one? What challenges have you encountered or overcome? What are you most proud of in your role with the age group you are supporting?
