Emotional Foundations in Early Childhood Plus (EFFEC+) will provide simple strategies to support a calmer classroom and calmer you. “A stressed person cannot calm down another stressed person.” Sarah previously participated in EFFEC+ and discovered this truth as a result of joining the project.
Over eight learning sessions, you will learn about social and emotional development of young children and discover strategies to build strong social and emotional skills where children can self-regulate, reducing the stress within your classroom. Self-care is always discussed at each session. In addition, you will receive individual technical assistance and opportunities to network with other educators to help you implement your new strategies.
Like Sarah, other early educators have learned about the importance of self-care. It is essential to providing quality care. They understand they must take time for themselves to be able to pour themselves into the lives of the children and families within their classrooms.
Come join us! You will learn strategies and receive resources to support yourself and the children you care for.
