Build your skills across all three Critical Competencies areas as you learn how to support infants’ and toddlers’ social-emotional, cognitive and language and literacy development through everyday interactions.

Early childhood professionals are often encouraged to practice self-care. Yet their well-being is also shaped by working conditions, organizational supports, and the physical and emotional demands of the work.

Join your VME host, Katrina Macasaet, for an interactive, research-informed exploration of what helps early childhood professionals stay well and remain present for the children and families who depend on them. Through live polls, myth-busting, expert insights, and facilitated discussion, participants will examine common beliefs about workforce stress and consider where meaningful responsibility for well-being belongs.

Bring your experience and test what you think you know. You will leave with a clearer understanding of the individual, program, and systems-level supports that can strengthen workforce well-being and sustain high-quality practice.

This is more than a webinar. Bring your perspective and participate in live polls, myth-busting, and discussion throughout the 90-minute event.

The holidays can bring joy and connection, but also disrupted routines, heightened expectations, and plenty of opportunities for families with young children to become overwhelmed.

Come away with practical, relationship-based strategies you can use immediately to support regulation and repair, while helping families let go of the “perfect” holiday in favor of one that is connected, responsive, and good enough.
