I Write, You Write, We All Write Do you want your children to be able to write correctly? Do you want them to be able to hold the pencil

correctly? If you answered yes to either question, then this training is one you will need to attend! In this

writing skills. .

APT: Early Literacy: It’s More than ABC’s

Early literacy skills begin to develop in the first three years of life. From holding a board book to babbling

when “reading” a favorite book, this training will explore early literacy skills for infants and toddlers. Us-

ing books, hands-on activities, and PBS Kids video clips, participants will gain information to better un-

derstand the importance of early literacy skills for infants and toddlers.

Beyond “I’m Sorry!”: Developing Empathy in Young Children Empathy is the ability to put yourself in the shoes of someone else and understand what they are feeling

or experiencing. This can be taught to infants and toddlers. Developing a sense of empathy is an im-

portant developmental process for young children that can benefit them not only in childhood, but well

into adult life. This training will offer many practical tips and activities to help infants and toddlers de-

velop empathy and understand that others have different thoughts and feelings than they do.

Are you looking for ways to give your infants and toddlers a hand up on development? Why not cross

the line, the midline that is! By setting up activities to get them moving across their bodies, you will

be helping you children develop fine motor, tracking and reading skills as they grow and develop.

STEAM and Preschoolers, a Natural Fit Every day when Preschoolers play, they are exploring or investigating, recognizing problems and

searching for or testing solutions. These are all STEAM skills or concepts which teachers can nurture in

the classroom. The role of the teacher, arranging the environment for STEAM explorations through play,

is important. This training will explore the scaffold of STEAM learning, suggesting common ways for the

Preschool teacher to provide opportunities for the children to engage and build STEAM skills.

Who Needs the Mess? Family Style Meals Mealtime involves learning as well as eating, such as: language development through conversation,

fine motor development through pouring, passing and serving, and social-emotional skills such as self-

concept, self-regulation, and resilience are promoted by the opportunities to make decisions and to

take responsibility. This class is designed to introduce family style food service to young child. We will

discuss ways to transition into this style of food service as well as handling messes, good food choices,

and mealtime curriculum.

Jump on the Band Wagon

We all agree, Preschool teachers are the greatest singers and performers on earth. By integrating music, movement and drama into your curriculum, we will give children an outlet to express their emotions and creativity as well as intentionally stimulating brain development. This training will provide teachers with fun ways they can introduce fine arts into their curriculum. So, come and jump on the bandwagon with us!

A New Year, A Better Center

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names can surely hurt you. When was the last time you did an evaluation on your center? Are you getting 80% good reviews, or can you use a little help? What does your turnover rate look like? In this class we will discuss classroom setup, and things that make your center run like a well-oiled clock. Activities and scenarios will be performed to help with evaluating your center.

Why Do We Test?

Have you ever wondered why assessments are necessary in childcare or what is the use in doing them? In this training, you will gain a better understanding of why assessments are important for you and the chil-dren. You will also distinguish between the difference in assessments that are available and their use to your

center.

Implicit Biases in Early Childhood Care

All of us have biases- no matter what our profession, no matter where we live, or where we’re from. We

are all exposed to a society that is full of implicit biases, biases of all kinds. In fact, research shows that

while explicit bias has decreased in our country over time, implicit bias has remained stable. And it is

instilled in us at very early ages. So, at the end of the day, the question is not whether or not we have

bias. The question is how we can address it.

Hands on “Playful Math Learning Experiences

Recent studies have shown that a child's math skills upon entering kindergarten can be a strong predictor of her future academic performance in both math and reading throughout the elementary grades. Math learn-ing promotes working memory, improves attention, and increases other basic cognitive skills. Engage pre-schoolers into these playful activities to help them develop a strong foundation in understanding math, that you can implement into your center!

Wee Cook! Have you ever stopped to think how much a child can learn from a cooking experience? With a little extra thought and planning you can make an already fun activity into a deep learning experience. So often when we are planning learning activities, we are focused on one learning area such as “math” or “science”, we forget we can choose activities that incorporate several learning concepts with just one activity. Cooking projects are a great way to do this! Let’s cook!

School-Age

Do You Feel That?

Bouncy, squishy, noisy, and yummy! Messy play is important for young children, giving them endless ways to

develop and learn. All types of play are essential for children’s development and early learning. Sensory play

helps children to develop and improve their gross and fine motor skills, co-ordination and concentration. Also,

how to work cooperatively and collaboratively, use all their senses to discover and explore their environment,

and develop their imagination, creative thinking and ability to problem solve and experiment with solutions.

Building Literacy After School

Many of us are aware that daily reading and literacy activity can enhance vocabulary, increase comprehension

and develop an understanding about story structure, among other skills. While young people practice these

skills throughout the school day, afterschool programs can provide an environment and opportunities to com-

plement these reading and writing practices. The afterschool environment is a great place for young people to

explore their reading and writing interests, cultivating an enjoyment of literacy for life.

Seasons in Science

Let’s get ready to warm up for winter, spring into action to beat the summer heat while enjoying the fall

weather by exploring hands-on experiments that relate to the seasons of the year. These simple science

experiments will promote social, cognitive, and emotional development as well as literacy development

in preschoolers by utilizing PBS KIDS programming, games and children’s books.

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect in Early Child Care

In this workshop, we will examine the roles and responsibilities of child care providers in preventing, recognizing,

reporting, and responding to child abuse and neglect within the early child care setting. This 2-hour training will

provide an overview of prevention efforts, mandated reporting laws and responsibilities, as well as ways child care

providers can care for and support children exhibiting symptoms of abuse.

Turning Lemons into Lemonade: How Many Lemons Do You Need?

The kitchen can be a fascinating place for children. While watching water boil, cutting up fruits and vegetables or

observing bread rise, children are developing social-emotional, physical and cognitive skills. This training will en-

courage teachers to incorporate simple cooking activities with a focus on developing math skills. With the help of

PBS Kids resources, this training will provide participants with materials and hands-on activities to encourage chil-

dren (and teachers) to measure, weigh and compare ingredients as they cook and taste various foods

Childcare Enhancement with a Purpose program will be offering an up-

coming training on the topic of:

Developmental Milestones

Participants will learn what to expect from children developmentally in all 5 areas of development: so-

cial, emotional, language & communication, cognitive, physical & movement and adaptive.
