We are proud of our dedicated Grant Early Childhood Network educators who spent their Saturday growing their practice!

Educators participated in an impactful Conscious Discipline training led by nationally certified trainer Jennifer Skrivanek. Through this learning experience, educators explored research-based practices and gained applicable strategies to bring back to their classrooms- focused on building strong classroom families, supporting children in identifying and managing emotions, and strengthening reasoning and problem-solving skills.

This work aligns with our commitment to supporting high quality early learning environments for all children.

Shout out to our educational partners: Grant Parish School Board, Dogwood Learning Academy, Grant Learning Center, and Cenla Christian Childcare Center-Pollock!
