  • Reggio Inspired Infant Toddler Classrooms - How to use project-based emergent curriculum with children under three.
  • A Power-With Classroom: Rejecting the Reward-Punishment Model in the Early Years - Creating a classroom based on power-with instead of power-over children. Coaching children to be self-disciplined problem solvers.

  • Power-With Leadership - The story of how Our Neighborhood became a Holacracy powered organization.
  • Parent Engagement - Supporting families to build their child development knowledge and serve as their children's advocates.

Cost

We charge $100 per hour per presenter to speak at early childhood programs. We offer one to two hour lectures, however we prefer hands on learning experiences. Hands on learning experiences are best suited to three hour blocks or more. We also offer coaching and facilitation of small group reflective practices. Meals and travel expenses fees will be added for trainings outside of central Virginia.
