Community Workshop
Facilitator(s): Lora Ripley, Jody Gallaher, Serita Spenard & Denise Martin
Date: Oct 28, 2025 | Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm
We have all been faced with having hard conversations with families and we know this can be difficult to navigate. Join us at this workshop about how to navigate these conversations with families/caregivers. We want to provide childcare programs perspective and insight on how our language can make an impact in the way we communicate concerns and insights about children with families. This is a space to help educators learn, grown and gain knowledge in navigating these nuanced conversations with families. The more knowledge and understanding that educators have the better we can support the children and families in our care and community.
