Keynote Topics:
Turn your learning goals into active play! Learn games
to play with children that not only get them learning, but
get them moving and engage in large motor play that will
keep their heart as healthy as their minds.
When you open your door, you open the door to a child's
future. Learn how to obtain the satisfaction, appreciation,
and lasting success you deserve from your work so you can
open that door for years to come! Discover the secret to
professionalism in child care: ATTITUDE! Improve your image,
improve your business practices and raise the quality of
care you provide. Get started on the road to success today
so you can be there for the children tomorrow.
We have the same goal: raising happy, healthy children.
So why does it feel like parents and providers are on opposite
sides of the fence? Let's jump that fence and learn to understand
and respect each other! Through stories that will make you
laugh - and make you cry - we'll discover the foundations
for great relationships that last for years.
Are we in child care because we're crazy or are we crazy
because we're in child care! What's so strange about wanting
to spend a day changing diapers, wiping noses, breaking
up fights, getting bit and spit up on? Nothing! The love
of children can drive us to do a lot of strange things so
let's learn to embrace this silliness and use it to our
advantage. Find out how to harness your crazy side, put
some fun and happiness into YOUR day, and bring some happiness
into the lives of children.
When everything around us seems to be going crazy - the
kids, the parents, the staff - we're the ones who need to
keep our sanity, right? Wrong! Learn how embracing the craziness
of your business can be the key to creating a positive,
stress-free environment for all the families and staff in
your care. Learn to tackle problems head on with a smile!
OTHER KEYNOTE TOPICS: Keynote presentation can be tailor-made
specifically for your conference based on your theme. Contact
Patricia to discuss your needs.

Half-day (4 hours) Training Sessions:
How to build your reputation, build your enrollment, and
build successful partnerships with families. Participants
will take the first steps in creating their own "Parent
Handbook" of information and policies that showcases
their individualities, learn to create an effective marketing
plan and practice proven interviewing techniques.
Tips and Tricks of the professionals to get you what you
need and what you want for less time and money. From organization
to toys, ideas to make your day go easier and your budget
go farther. Bring your best tips to share! Presenter will
share dozens of ideas gathered over the years and participants
will go home with a bag of goodies to help them reduce stress,
communicate with parents, create inexpensive activities
and toys, be more organized and get the most out of their
day!
The biggest obstacle in meeting the goals we have for
the children or our business is: the parents! Learn how
to bring parents into your child care family and make them
partners. Decode what the parents are telling you and get
to the heart of their issues. Create an environment that
supports an open flow of communication and provide opportunities
for successful collaboration. We'll work together on solving
problems - and preventing them so you can leave with the
tools you need to reach all the parents and reach all your
goals for the children.

Workshops:
The following lectures are can be made to fit conference
needs for breakout sessions or expanded for an individual
training event.

parents and conducting interviews.

and guidelines for conducting interviews and conferences.
Providers are shown where to find the strength from within
to see themselves as professionals. Gaining respect and
appreciation from others begins with how you see yourself.
Topics covered: professional attitude, professional image
and the benefits/barriers providers face on the road to
professionalism.
A child care space needs to do so much - support education,
inspire, provide safety, minimize conflicts. Yet it should
do even more - reflect the personalities of those who are
in it! Learn how to create a space that not only supports
the goals for the children - but supports those who teach
in it as well! The children deserve a great place to learn
- and you deserve a great place to work!

Learn the techniques that will fill your openings before
they happen and the interview skills to find the partnerships
your business deserves! Topics covered: building a professional
image, marketing, advertising, professional phone skills,
interviewing.
Take a fun look at some of the troublesome behaviors we
encounter in children. Come and share your frustrations
- and your successes! We'll work together to find creative
ways to solve these problems and also take some time to
discover what life lessons we can learn from them to help
us gain a new perspective and appreciate the good even in
the worst situations.
Before we can teach them the 3 Rs, we need to instill
in our children a love of learning, problem solving techniques
and positive social skills. These are the basis for further
learning and the windows to a bright, imaginative, and successful
future!

Thank you for sharing
this important experience with us.
Wow! I laughed - I cried
- I'll never think of birthmother's the same again.
Thank you.
What a wonderful story!
Thank you so much, I was
so afraid of having an open relationship with the
birthmother but you have shown me that it can be
a wonderful experience, now I can't wait!
What an important story to
share!
I want to buy a book for
my son, his birthmother and every relative we have!
How wonderful to see the love that is returned when
respect is given.
This was the highlight of
our training!
Thank you for your honesty.
Very moving. Tears were streaming
down my face.
You made me feel what you
felt - I could picture every scene.
We will have a closed adoption
but I am so grateful to have the story of love you
shared to share with my child! I agree with you
- the love behind a birthmother's choice has nothing
to do with their address in this world.
My child will know that he
is loved because of your story, thank you.
