Training on Resiliency

Starts at :Wednesday, February 1 - 12:30 PM - 5:00 PM

“Resiliency is seen as the ability to cope well in difficult situations, through hardship and persevere when things don’t go as planned. Really, resiliency is a way of thinking that is developed over time and can be influenced by many things from innate qualities within each of us, to our families, our culture, our community, our environment, and the situations or events that take place throughout our lifespan. Everyone is resilient. This workshop will help show you how.”

Great for yourself and to use in your everyday work with children.

Designs for Living and Learning, Transforming Early Childhood Environments

Group book study

We are excited to share a few evenings exploring this book of inspiration with early care and learning professionals. If you are unfamiliar with the book, you might want to look it up online, or join us at Hemlock Family Place on Thursday, October 20, 6:30 – 7:30 pm It will be an introduction to the book and a planning session to establish a schedule for how we might prefer to move forward as a group. We are suggesting that we meet 3 or 4 times to discuss our experience of the book and share how it has informed and influenced our work. The questions we will ask on Oct. 20^th are: How long between meetings? 2 weeks? A month? What time works? And, How long might we expect the sessions to be? Who wishes to join us? The cost of the book is $35 and will be available to purchase through the book club.
