  • Save the Date: Virtual Early Learning Professional Development Day Conference Friday, February 11th, 2022
    As many of you gather with your staff to prepare for the new school year I am hoping that you can share the date of our second annual Virtual Early Learning Professional Development Day Conference. The conference takes place on the all school Regional Professional Development Day on Friday, February 11th and is a No School Day on school calendars. The Early Learning tract will feature several sessions focused entirely on Early Learning topics geared toward you and your staff (and STARS eligible for licensed programs). I will send a calendar alert with more details as we move into the school year!  If you are interested in being a part of the planning team please let me know.  Last year the time commitment for the planning team consisted of 3-4 meetings that were an hour in length.  Thank you and looking forward to an awesome day of learning.
  • Monthly Early Learning Roundtables: 3rd Thursday of each month at 4:00pm
    Please join us this year for our monthly Early Learning Roundtables. Starting in September they will take place on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 4:00pm.  They will be recorded for those unable to attend.  During these roundtables we focus on one topic and share with each other how you approach that topic in your programs.  These roundtables have been a great way to connect, meet each other and share resources and ideas. Please let me know if there are topics that you would like to focus on during this year’s roundtables.  Please see link for topics and recordings from last year’s roundtables:  Early Learning Resources and News – My Catholic School

 

  • Licensed Only: Monthly Licensed Webinars:  2nd Thursday of each month at 4:15pm
    Please join us this year for our monthly Licensed Program Webinar’s.  Starting in September they take place on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 4:15pm.  They will be recorded for those unable to attend.  Each one of these webinars focus on a different administrative aspect of operating a licensed program.  These webinars have been great to make sure we are staying in compliance with our DCYF requirements and tracking changes and updates that happen throughout the year.  Please let me know if there are topics that you would like to focus on during this year’s Webinars.  Please see link for topics and recordings from last year’s Webinars.  Early Learning Resources and News – My Catholic School

Have a great week!
