Professional Development
When a program invests in professional development that strengthens leadership and team capabilities, it leads to improved staff performance and retention — ultimately ensuring better outcomes for enrolled children and families.
In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the need for strong leadership has never been more critical. That’s why our professional learning team has redesigned the transformative and widely popular Leadership Workshop Series. Made up of several courses, the Leadership Workshop Series aims to:
- Develop visionary leadership.
- Cultivate a culture of continuous improvement.
- Enhance leaders’ ability to to inspire and take their teams to new heights.
The full series includes courses on Open Communication; Follow Through; Teamwork; Strategic Thinking; Maintaining Standards with Compassion; Change Management; and Data-Informed Learning.
Classroom & Home Learning Curriculum
Our preschool curriculum Ready to Shine builds on young children’s natural curiosity and playfulness, ultimately preparing children for kindergarten. To support and extend classroom learning into the home, we have developed a research-based home learning curriculum Shine on Families, which also serves to strengthen the partnership between staff and family.
