6 Hour ECE Credit Course:

Description: Come join us on Saturday, September 27th for a day of learning as we ground our thinking in whole child development and grow our practice as teachers of young children.

All sessions at the institute are led by veteran early childhood teachers from our progressive school model. The classroom sessions are intentionally limited in size to create safe spaces for dialogue and meaningful connection.

Included in the day are opportunities to tour our indoor classrooms and outdoor learning spaces located on 26 acres of fields and woods as part of your credit hours.

You’ll be served a light breakfast and boxed lunch. We also invite you to join a 20 minute yoga stretch to help integrate your brain and body during a full day of learning.

Free parking is available on site.

Six hours of ECE TRIS credit for the 25-26 training year.
