Building Stronger Teams Together: Effective Team Communication in Early Childhood Programs

Your team is the heart of your early childhood program. Strong teams build each other up, value each other’s strengths and collaborate to reach goals. We establish professional friendships and learn and grow together. Building a strong team, though, takes time, intentionality and vision. Working with diverse perspectives, experiences and knowledge can be seen as a challenge or a perk. How do you communicate with your colleagues and team members to ensure that everyone is sharing the same values and goals? Are we recognising the importance of diversity? Do we acknowledge and understand that everyone needs something different to be seen, heard and valued? Let’s work together to discuss how to build a stronger team through our values, communication and diversity. Knowing HOW to communicate with each other is a key skill to have as early childhood educators.  We are fabulous with children… but can we communicate effectively with adults? Join us as we explore how to adapt our communication style, recognize our core values and build a positive workplace culture. Let’s play, grow and learn together!

Learning Objectives: 

1. Define effective teams and the core values and practices of effective teams
2. Pinpoint obstacles and struggles to effective team communication and find solutions to these obstacles
