Building Blocks of Early Literacy Training Series

Training series for community members who impact the development of children's literacy skills.

Introduction to Infant Mental Health

Introduces the role and function of the infant mental health specialist and the use of relationship and reflection in work with families. Participants will reflect on their own careers and be challenged to determine how they can further define their roles with families.

Early Childhood Movement Consultation

Attends to the development of early childhood movement skills as being critical in addressing positive developmental trajectories and avoiding cumulative risk.

Monthly Reflective Practice Groups

If you are currently working with parents and their very young children and would like the opportunity to meet with a similarly committed but varied group of practitioners, monthly reflective practice groups will promote professional development by using collegial relationships to encourage the thoughtful observation of oneself and others. The content for the group will emerge from the practice experiences of the participants. The size of the group will be limited, and participants will be asked to commit to a series of sessions. Certificates of completion available to those completing all sessions.
