Early childhood professional development training

"A Taste of Teacher and/or Parent Talk" is a one (1) hour Seminar to introduce you to the Parent Talk System which is a style of communicating that creates emotionally healthy relationships, builds confidence and teaches responsibility and respect. It is based on the premise that as teachers and caregivers your choice of words and your communication style are critical to the self-esteem, emotional health and personal empowerment of the children you interact with daily. You will be empowered and excited to immediately and effectively apply three (3) new skills in your daily work with children and families. Workshops are presented in person or online with Zoom.

"Group Staff Development " is designed for St. Charles County, Missouri area preschools and care centers. It is a series of three in-person workshops, two hours each, including time to practice and role play.
