Learn How RIRO Resiliency Training Can Support Your Practice
Reaching IN… Reaching Out is a nationally recognized, evidence-based resilience skills training program designed for adults who work with young children.
Through practical strategies and guided reflection, RIRO helps educators build resilience, strengthen their ability to manage stress, enhance relationships with children and families, and approach challenging situations with greater confidence.
Participants leave with valuable tools to support their own well-being while fostering resilience and emotional growth in the children they care for.
Why choose RIRO facilitated by ADSN?
RIRO is a powerful program on its own, but taking it through ADSN makes the experience especially impactful for dayhome educators.
Tailored for Dayhomes
While RIRO is designed for all early childhood professionals, ADSN delivers the training through the lens of dayhome work. That means every example, discussion, and reflection is grounded in real dayhome situations — from managing mixed-age groups and long solo days to navigating parent relationships and emotional exhaustion.
Facilitated by a Dayhome Professional
Danielle Bourdin is a certified RIRO facilitator and the Executive Director of ADSN. Drawing from her time as a dayhome educator and her ongoing work with providers across Alberta, Danielle brings a deep understanding of the unique realities dayhome professionals face and delivers RIRO in a way that feels practical, relevant, and genuinely connected to the work educators do every day.
Program Delivery
RIRO is delivered live over Zoom in a small-group format that’s flexible, interactive, and designed with dayhome life in mind. Evening sessions make it easy for educators to attend after hours without added stress.

FAQ
RIRO is a 12 hr resiliency skills training that includes rich group discussion and information sharing.
This is not a typical ADSN PD where cameras can be off and you are permitted to sit in and listen.
If you apply to be considered for RIRO Training, please understand that there is an expectation that cameras are on and participants are engaging in discussion and share their experiences as appropriate and when comfortable.
RIRO becomes more powerful when we create a safe and welcoming environment where participants feel comfortable to share with one another.
Because space is limited to 15 participants, we may not be able to accommodate all those who apply. If you are not selected, we will keep your information on file and reach out to you when the next round of RIRO is being offered.
Yes! A certificate will be available for those who attend all 6 sessions live.
No, sorry! This course requires active discussion and participation that you would not be able to do with a replay. Please check your calendar and confirm that you can attend all 6 sessions.
We have submitted a request for both PD Funding and 15 hours of Release Time. Stay tuned!
Unfortunately, ADSN is unable to accommodate those who miss any sessions of the RIRO program. It is extremely important that you are able to attend each of the sessions. Failure to complete 1 or more sessions means we cannot offer you a certificate of completion and you will be unable to receive reimbursement for the program cost.
RIRO is a program developed by Wellington County in Ontario. You can learn more here.
