Learn How ABC Beyond Training Can Support Your Practice
ABC & Beyond™ is a nationally recognized professional learning program developed by The Hanen Centre to help early childhood educators create language-rich environments that support children’s communication, literacy, and early learning skills.
Through practical strategies, guided reflection, and real-world application, ABC & Beyond helps educators intentionally weave language and literacy opportunities into everyday routines, play experiences, and interactions. Participants learn how to support vocabulary development, conversations, storytelling, early literacy, and emergent writing in ways that are meaningful and engaging for young children.
Participants leave with practical tools they can immediately use to promote language and literacy development while creating learning experiences that support children’s long-term success in school and beyond.
Why choose ABC & Beyond facilitated by ADSN?
ABC & Beyond is a valuable program for all early childhood educators, but taking it through ADSN makes the experience especially meaningful for dayhome providers.
Tailored for Dayhomes
While ABC & Beyond was designed for a variety of early learning settings, ADSN delivers the program through the lens of dayhome practice. Discussions, examples, and reflections are grounded in the realities of family dayhomes, including mixed-age groups, home-based environments, flexible routines, and the natural learning opportunities that emerge throughout the day.
Facilitated by a Dayhome Professional & SLPA
Danielle Bourdin is a certified Hanen ABC & Beyond facilitator, Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA), and Executive Director of ADSN. Drawing on her experience as both a dayhome educator and an SLPA supporting children’s communication development, Danielle brings a unique perspective to the program. She helps participants connect ABC & Beyond strategies to the real-life interactions and learning experiences they provide every day, making the learning practical, relevant, and immediately applicable within a dayhome setting.
Program Delivery
ABC & Beyond is delivered live over Zoom in a small-group format that encourages discussion, reflection, and practical application. Sessions are designed to fit the schedules of busy educators while providing meaningful opportunities for learning and connection.
