A 2 day professional development opportunity for early childhood center directors, supervisors, and program coordinators.

How well prepared were you for the awesome task of running a high quality program? How adequate are your facilities, resources, and staff? In this era of quality rating scales, growing expectations, and mandated learning outcomes, we know that the director’s leadership is the primary nutrient for growing a quality program!

This unique two day institute will explore:

Directing with a vision, not a regulation book
Aligning your policies and practices with your values and vision
Mentoring your staff into thoughtful teaching practices with children and families

Registration fee: $200.00
