Learning Goals
- Support providers in co-creating a more inclusive, welcoming, and fair classroom community for all children, parents, and families.
- Explore the brain science behind children’s developmental understanding of themselves, their relationships, and community.
- Celebrate and reinforce the ways providers are already building a caring community by empowering children and their families.
