NEW! Bringing the Village Together: Team Building Practices for Early Childhood Organizations

Creative, inspirational and effective team building strategies help to create a foundation of respect, trust and cohesiveness that every early childhood team needs in order to provide high quality care to the children and families they work with. We are the village that works together to help children thrive! Selecting and implementing activities, strategies and practices that are cultural appropriate, focus on communication and overcoming obstacles together are just some of your goals with any team building experience. Together, we will explore, play and reflect on how to make team building a part of your regular routine within your program. This is not just for leaders – your whole team can join in this learning experience. From team meetings to reflective practices to playful activities, let’s make sure that every team member feels a sense of belonging and a valued team member!
