Are you curious about progressive approaches to education or parenting, but don’t know how to bring that into your classroom or household in a productive way? If so, this workshop is designed to support parents and educators who work with children ages 0-6 years in exploring how progressive education can be used to support learning in the early years. 

Pamela Strode, an early childhood Montessori educator and instructor, will be guiding this workshop focusing on four daunting yet crucial aspects of early childhood for the progressive parent and educator: 

• The Cosmic Task of the Caregiver and the Child

• Communication with the Child

• Social Development and Interaction

• Discipline for the Young Child

In this workshop, Pamela will help you to feel empowered to help children be the most successful version of themselves while helping you to become the caregiver or teacher you have always envisioned yourself to be. Professional development hours will be offered for early childhood educators, and lunch will be provided.
