Importance of Early Intervention

This session provides a clear, practical introduction to why early intervention matters in the early childhood years. We’ll explore how timely support can positively influence a child’s long-term development, strengthen outcomes, and reduce challenges later in life. Educators will leave with a solid understanding of why early intervention is so impactful and how this knowledge can enhance the care they provide.

Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies can happen at any time—and as a dayhome provider, you’re responsible for both your family and the children in your care. This session will guide you through the essentials of personal emergency preparedness and practical strategies to keep your dayhome operating safely during unexpected disruptions

Planning for Positive Meal Times

Explore how to create supportive and enjoyable mealtime experiences in a dayhome setting. We will introduce menu planning, focusing on the plate model, food groupings, and beverage choices for children. The session also covers building positive feeding relationships, offering family-style meals, establishing consistent routines, and navigating common mealtime challenges such as transitions, picky eating, and trying new foods.
