Poverty:  The Effect on a Child                                                                                                                            How many children do you serve who live in poverty?  What does poverty look like?  How does it effect a child’s ability to learn?  What can you do as an educator to improve the life of a child and his/her family? What are the expectations as an early childhood professional to end this cycle and to make life a little easier for those not quite “living the life”?           Sarah Williams, Presenter

The Golden Rules for Partnering with Families

Learning to create partnerships with the child’s families will help the child care provider and preschool teachers provide the best service to all children. The focus of this workshop will be discussions about how to communicate successfully with parents, how to set-up the relationship for success and what to do when challenges arise. The participant will receive actual activities that the parents will do at home to promote resiliency in their child. These activities will promote a bond between the provider/teacher and the families that are served.      Pam Raffurty, Presenter

Open Wide:  Open-ended Activities for Fun and Learning                                                    This session will focus on the importance of providing activities and materials that encourage children to explore and learn.  Ideas for embedding language, mathematics, and science in various ways throughout the classroom will be presented.  Participants will leave with many ideas for providing open-ended opportunities without spending lots of money.    Vickie Sowers, Presenter
