Are You Feeling the Pressures of Your Role as an Early Childhood Education Director?

 

You’re Not Alone!
 
As an Early Childhood Education Director, you wear many hats—supporting children, guiding parents, uplifting your staff, and meeting the demands of upper management.
 
The pressures can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re so dedicated to nurturing others that you often forget to take care of yourself.
 
Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup...
 
So you're invited to join us for an empowering opportunity to enhance your practice and reinforce the relationships you cherish with families, children, and your dedicated staff.

Introducing our combination of FAN Training and Reflective Supervision!

The FAN Approach 

The FAN (Facilitating Attuned Interactions) Approach serves as a framework for parent engagement and reflective practice in work with young children and families. 

FAN addresses urgent concerns of the parent or caregiver and trains professionals to tailor their responses to match the needs of the moment. They discover how their own internal sense of regulation or dysregulation affects their abilities to be fully present with a family in the moment. 

This dynamic training offers strategies to help professionals feel balanced in activating or high risk situations and improves communication and relationships across your early care and education setting. 

Why should you participate?

Strengthen Relationships

Foster meaningful connections with parents, caregivers, and your team, while creating a supportive environment.

Tailored Responses

Learn to meet the immediate needs of children and families while also understanding and supporting your staff’s professional development.

Promote Reflective Practice

Develop self-awareness to manage feelings and reactions, reducing burnout and increasing job satisfaction.

 

 

After completing the FAN Training, we will transition to Reflective Supervision

Reflective Supervision is a collaborative process focused on your professional growth and the development of your staff.

What is Reflective Supervision?

It is a coaching and supervision model grounded in the theory and practice of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health.

It's one of the only coaching and supervision models that invites you to bring your whole self into the supervision relationship-both personal and professional.

Particularly, you will be invited to reflect on your own personal early childhood experiences and how they impact your professional work with infants, young children and families.

What does Reflective Supervision look like?

Reflective Supervision will occur in a group setting with other Early Childcare and Education Directors. We will meet regularly to simply talk about what is coming up in your work: specific situations, common themes, obstacles, celebrations.

During that time we will have the luxury of slowing down a bit to reflect on the work you do, while putting all administrative pieces of the work aside.

This process focuses on how you think and feel about your work. 

What to expect from Reflective Supervision:

A Focus on Growth

Delve into your thoughts and feelings. Improving your practice for both families and staff.

Collaborative Conversations

Explore your experiences in a safe and trusting environment with your supervisor and colleagues.

Stronger Team Dynamics

Build positive relationships within your team, fostering a supportive and engaging workplace.

In Reflective Supervision you will:

  • Expand your impact
  • Strengthen your connections with families and your team
  • Improve overall outcomes for the children you serve
  • Develop new professional skills
  • Join a community that values collaboration & support
  • Further the IECMH impact in your community

Ready to increase connection, communication, and overall outcomes for the staff and children in your centers?
