The Educator's Motive:
🕙 from 10 am to 11 am
Educational leadership development often focuses on the how — the skills, the strategies, the tools. But what if you have not first answered a more fundamental question: why do you serve as an Early Childhood Educator? In this workshop, we examine two very different reasons people step into eductaor roles — and why one of them quietly undermines everything an ECE leader tries to build. You will be invited to take an honest look at your own motivations, reflect on how they show up in your day-to-day practice, and consider what it truly means to lead in service of others rather than for the rewards your work brings. If you are an early childhood educator, carry responsibility for a room, a team, or a center, this workshop will challenge the way you think about your role — and why that matters deeply for everyone who depends on you.

Care Plans
🕦 from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
Children with complex needs, medical conditions, allergies, or developmental differences require individualized care plans that go beyond general program policies. This workshop supports floor staff in understanding what a strong care plan looks like, how to read and implement one effectively, and what their role is in contributing to and updating that plan over time. We cover how to collaborate with families, specialists, and colleagues to ensure care plans reflect the child's current needs and are consistently followed across all staff. Participants will also explore the documentation practices and communication strategies that keep care plans alive and actionable — rather than filed away and forgotten.
