At ADSN, professional development is built specifically for the dayhome community.

Every training opportunity is designed and delivered through the lens of dayhome practice, ensuring that the content reflects the unique realities, challenges, and strengths of family child care.

Led by Danielle Bourdin, a former dayhome provider, Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, and experienced educator, ADSN training is grounded in firsthand knowledge of what it means to operate a dayhome. From managing mixed-age groups and navigating relationships with families to balancing business responsibilities alongside caregiving, our training recognizes the complexity of the dayhome role and provides practical strategies that can be implemented immediately.

Rather than offering generic early learning content, ADSN takes a highly tailored approach. Every presentation, discussion, example, and resource is intentionally adapted to ensure it is relevant to the dayhome environment and the educators who work within it. Whether training is delivered to providers, consultants, agency teams, or community organizations, participants can expect learning that speaks directly to their day-to-day experiences.

One of the most common pieces of feedback we receive is that ADSN training feels different from anything else available in the province. Participants consistently tell us that the content is practical, relatable, engaging, and reflective of the real-world challenges they face. They appreciate learning from someone who understands the profession firsthand and who is committed to ensuring that every training experience is meaningful, applicable, and respectful of the important work dayhome educators do every day.

When you choose ADSN, you’re choosing professional development that doesn’t simply include dayhomes — it’s built around them.
