Join us for a morning focused on understanding the importance of positive working relationships that are critical to a vibrant and engaging child care program. Leaders of early childhood programs often face high turnover challenges that lead to discontent within the workplace. Early educators will gain an understanding on how to keep internal motivations high by learning secrets for enhancing soft skills, principles on rebounding from road blocks and how to use specific tools to deal with negativity.
