Professional Development & Training

Early childhood professional development is more than just training—it's a strategic, systemic investment in the workforce that supports young children and families.  

Customized professional development

Through webinars, virtual meetings, and on-site workshops, we develop customized professional development for directors, educators, therapists, early intervention & childcare providers that is aligned to national standards and frameworks yet meaningfully connected to local practices and services.

  • IDEA requirements and regulations

  • Developing and implementing high-quality IFSP/IEP goals and services

  • Recruitment and retention strategies for local leaders

  • Cross-sector workforce: Promoting skills and competencies for home visiting

“I believe research should do more than inform—it should empower. When we make it meaningful for practitioners to use and leaders to shape policies that truly support programs, we build systems where infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their families can thrive.” — Dr. Leslie Fox
