SUMMARY:Attracting & Retaining an All-Star Staff Team: Proven Strategies that Work! (3 hours)
DESCRIPTION:Attracting & Retaining an All-Star Staff Team: Proven Strategies that Work!\n3 Part Series (3 hours total): \n\nWednesday\, February 8   12:00-1:00PM\nWednesday\, February 15   12:00-1:00PM\nWednesday\, February 22   12:00-1:00PM\n\nSummary \nAttracting and Retaining a high quality team is perhaps the biggest challenge facing childcare leaders\, not just in Alberta but across North America.  Recent studies show that it’s the inability to hire and retain quality staff that is preventing both private and not for profits centres to expand. \nHiring the right staff takes skill and planning. This includes knowing who you are looking for\, where to find them\, how to interview them and mutually determining whether your Centre is a fit for their skills and career aspirations. \nRetaining the right staff is an equally important part of the Human Resources equation.  This begins with understanding why your current team stay with you and what potential team additions are looking for in terms of a work environment and total compensation package (salary plus benefits). \nHaving a sound strategy for attracting and retaining staff not only keeps these HR costs manageable but more importantly enables you to deliver consistent\, quality care to children and their families. \nObjectives: \n\nOutline the Key Steps in the Hiring Process\nOutline the Key Steps in the Retention Process\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nPD Funding available to eligible Level 3 educators.\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop. Please click the link 10 minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recordings.\nE-transfers to be sent to tina@inspiredmindsecc.ca\n\nZoom link is included in your ticket email.

SUMMARY:Redefining Circle Time
DESCRIPTION:Redefining Circle Time: Moving Beyond Adult Directed Groups Times with Young Children \nA time to connect. A time to feel a sense of belonging. A time to share stories. A time to learn about each other. This is what circle times in early childhood should be about. Gathering times and sharing circles are a part of many cultural and family traditions as family and friends come together to connect and share stories. Gone are the outdated practices of calendar time and singing weather songs as the focus of circle times in early childhood programs where educators instruct and direct children. Instead\, let’s make gathering time meaningful and relevant to the children in our care. In this session\, we will come together to discuss a variety of ways to change an adult-directed circle time to an opportunity to connect\, reflect and share. Gathering times can be a part of our daily routine or a spontaneous story time that children will remember forever. By being intentional in our group gathering practices and reflecting on our ‘why’\, we can create a gathering time that truly embraces the image of the child and helps children learn about themselves\, others\, and their community. Let’s build community together! \nObjectives: \n\nRedefining circle time as a child-led experience\nImportance of group gatherings\nUnderstanding and respecting cultural values of group gathering\nStrategies to improve meaningful and interactive group gathering\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:Where the Wild Things Are! Providing Effective Active Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Where the Wild Things Are! Providing Effective Active Supervision \nYou turn for 30 seconds and BAM! The children are climbing the shelves\, running over\, around and under things\, biting is now a sport and chaos has erupted in your play space! What happened?! How can you ensure children’s safety when chaos is happening? As early childhood educators\, our role is not to simply watch children but to provide a space where they are safe to explore and discover. To do this\, we need to ensure we are supervising children with intentionality and purpose. Active supervision is about taking an active role in children’s play while creating a safe space for them to do so. Engaging in active supervision sometimes means we stand back\, observe and document children in play\, showing our own wonder and curiosity in their explorations. While other times\, it requires us to become an active part of the children’s play and remind them of safety parameters and helping them think through problems and encouraging them to solve it! If we want our supervision strategies to be effective\, we need to be intentional in our own practices! In this session\, we will discuss many ways to engage in active supervision that ensures children are free to play and learn. We will review case studies of difficult situations to supervise and how to overcome these moments of chaos. Sometimes\, we need to be wild with them in order to embrace the play! Let’s get wild! \nObjectives \n\nDefine effective supervision and active supervision.\nIdentify 6 strategies to active supervision.\nIdentify supervision distractions\, challenges and how to overcome them.\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop. Please click the link 10 minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nE-transfers to be sent to tina@inspiredmindsecc.ca\n\nZoom link is included in your ticket email.

SUMMARY:NEW! Center Stage Webinar! Insurance Made Easy for Childcare
DESCRIPTION:NEW! Center Stage Webinar! Insurance Made Easy for Childcare \nWelcome to Inspired Minds ECC Center Stage Webinars\, where we bring in special guests to share with us their knowledge and expertise. \nThis February\, we are talking about Insurance! Yup…that’s right….find out how you can help you and your family be a little less stress when trauma or illnesses hit. Miranda and Chelsea\, from Combined Insurance\, will share with us the different types of health insurance out there and what works best for early childhood educators. Support comes in many different ways. This is one way we can support early childhood educators\, our teams and our families. \nLet’s hear what Miranda and Chelsea will be sharing with us: \n“You shouldn’t have to worry about your bills when an accident or sickness happens. And when it comes to working with kids everyday… it happens. The reality is\, insurance can be confusing\, frustrating and expensive or it can be helpful\, affordable and give you peace of mind. Miranda Ebbert & Chelsea Lessard are here to help you experience the latter. With Mirandas previous experience working in daycares\, put programs and providing respite for 10 years and Chelsea’s 5 years of experience in the personal insurance industry\, they are here to make things a little easier. \nThey represent a company that has been in business for over 100 years\, has an A+ Superior rating in claims\, and that works personally with you to customize a plan that properly represents your needs\, lifestyle and budget. \nIn a quick 1 hour session\, they will help you understand the difference between several kinds of health insurance\, how their company does things a lot differently than what you may have seen before\, and why it can make such a huge difference in your life for either you\, your family\, or your business.” \nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nThis is a FREE\, 1-hour session.\nRegistration is required.\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nThe link to the webinar is included in your ticket.

SUMMARY:No Waiting! Get Them Shaking! Learning Effective Transition Strategies
DESCRIPTION:No Waiting! Get Them Shaking! Learning Effective Transition Strategies \nI can see it like it was just yesterday…the children are climbing over each other as we help them put on their snow pants\, jackets and boots to get them ready to go outside. It’s a nightmare come true! Wait! This was yesterday! The reality sets in….transitions are HARD! There’s no doubt about it. Whether it’s the infamous ‘clean up’ time\, going outside or coming back in\, moving from lunch to nap time or helping those new children adjust to group care…it’s a stressful time for many of us. It doesn’t need to be. When we take the time to stop\, be present and be intentional\, we can minimize the stress of transitions not only for us but also for the children in our care. Children are not designed to sit and wait\, so we cannot expect them to do so! What can we do to keep children engaged during transitions? To help this be a time of connections instead of directions. To help them navigate their own transitions successfully and with confidence. Let’s get them moving! Let’s get them engaged! Let’s connect. Join me as we fill your transitional toolkit with strategies and activities that are sure to capture the attention and imagination of those little ones who struggle with transitions. We will look at our daily routine schedules to reflect on how they impact our transitional times. And of course\, we will sing\, play and dance with some NEW transitional ideas that you can add immediately to your practice. Let’s do this! \nObjectives: \n\nEstablish an understanding of why effective transitions are important to child development.\nIdentify strategies that support the 3 phases of effective transitions – before\, during and after.\nDevelop a daily visual routine for children to help them with transitions.\nLearn new transition songs\, games and tools to use during transitions.\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop. Please click the link 10 minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nE-transfers to be sent to tina@inspiredmindsecc.ca\n\nZoom link is included in your ticket email.

SUMMARY:Curiosity and Wonder of Heuristic Play and Treasure Baskets: Infant and Toddler Play Explorations
DESCRIPTION:Curiosity and Wonder of Heuristic Play and Treasure Baskets: Infant and Toddler Play Explorations \nInfants and Toddles explore the world around them with awe and wonder. They explore with a zest for curiosity and exploration. They deserve an environment that supports this natural process of learning. They deserve Play! Creating responsive environments for infants and toddlers is slightly different then how we would create a responsive environment for older children. We need to take into consideration their physical\, sensory and neurological needs. One of the most impactful way of supporting infants and toddlers in their play explorations is through heuristic play and treasure baskets! This approach creates hands-on\, self-directed play experiences for children to dive deep into their own learning process. Let’s discuss what heuristic play is and how we can create treasure baskets and sensory experiences that are meaningful and relevant for our young learners. Participants will develop an awareness of this approach to play and engage in reflective practices and discussions about how they can make children’s learning visible. Go beyond a basic infant toddler space and create a space of magic\, wonder and inspiration! \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the Importance of Play for Infants and Toddlers\nHeuristic Play Approach\nCreating Treasure Baskets\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families
DESCRIPTION:We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families \nHi Samantha…I mean Sidney…I mean…Ms. Randolf…I mean…Maggie’s mom! Connecting with families\, and knowing their names\, is just as important as your connection with the children in your care! Families are the primary caregivers in a child’s life. An essential role for educators is co-creating strong relationships with families. Sound simple?! Maybe…or maybe not. We always have families who are easy to connect with and we always have families that we struggle to form a trusting bond with. We need to carefully look at how each family is unique and embrace the diverse perspectives they can bring to your program. Whether it’s family expectations\, family dynamics\, family rituals and routines or family culture that are creating some wonderful resources or some difficult tensions for you\, your ability to sustain positive relationships with families is essential. Every family is unique and brings a different perspective about their child’s growth\, development\, and views on play. Understanding the importance of working with families\, not against them\, can create a strong foundation of support for the children in your care. Let’s bring the village together to ensure children have a safe\, supportive\, and culturally responsive environment where children can thrive! \nObjectives: \n\nWelcoming families to your community\nCo-creating strong relationships with families\nCollaborating with diverse families\nEngaging in difficult conversations with families\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:Conflict Management Strategies for Leaders (3 hours)
DESCRIPTION:Conflict Management Strategies for Leaders (3 hours)\nOnline Community Leadership Webinar: \n3 Part Series (3 hours total): \n\nApril 5\, 2023     12:00-1:00PM\nApril 12\, 2023     12:00-1:00PM\nApril 19\, 2023     12:00-1:00PM\n\nSummary \nManaging conflict well is a key skill for all staff in the early learning field and especially leaders.  According to the Society for Human Resource Management: “Workplace conflict is inevitable when employees of various backgrounds and different work styles are brought together for a shared business purpose.  Conflict can—and should—be managed and resolved.” \nThere are several negative effects of unresolved conflict in the childcare field.  These effects include low morale\, absenteeism\, turnover\, decreased productivity and strained relationships between staff members and with the leadership team.  In addition\, conflict is sensed by the children and we know that this negativity affects their growth\, development\, enjoyment and safety while at the Centre.  Conflict between the staff and families is stressful and can lead to turnover of both staff and families.  Finally\, the leaders at the Centres who are required to navigate through the conflict can be left with feelings of guilt\, anger and anxiety long after the conflict is gone.  Thus\, it’s very important for leaders to have tools to ensure that past conflict does not negatively them both on and off the job. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand the 5 point Conflict Management Framework\nLearn and practice the CARE Approach to Conflict Management\nLearn how to turn complaints into constructive feedback\nLearn the importance of self-care in the midst of conflict and long after it’s resolved\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nPD Funding available to eligible Level 3 educators.\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

This type of interaction doesn’t happen just by supervising\, asking questions or giving direction. It comes from a deep connection between the adult and the child. A connection that takes time to build and takes intentional interactions. Let’s learn some strategies of how to build this connection with ALL children – from the ones we struggle with to the ones who love us the moment they come through our doors.  Understanding what each child needs to feel a connection will help us establish that bond with each child and continue to see that relationship blossom. Connection is key! \nObjectives: \n\nDefining Caring Connections\nIdentify the Importance of Connecting with Children\nKey Benefits of Establishing Connections with Children\nIdentify Strategies of how to Build Caring Connections\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 48 hours in advance!\nPD Funding Available to eligible participants.\nCertificate of participation will be available to participants.\nNo refunds\, credits\, exchanges or substitutes.
