LIVE ONLINE COURSE
Supporting Early Years Teams with Self-Reg
Science, Practice, and Co-Regulation
(with Project)
Starting September 16, 2025
(on Zoom)
Support teams across early years programs have deep expertise. Many already know the science, have strong strategies, and are doing incredible work to guide educators through stress and behaviour challenges.
But having tools and seeing them take root in practice are two different things. Change is hard, especially under pressure. This course is about helping those in support roles bridge that gap—bringing Self-Reg to life in ways that feel doable, relational, and real.
It’s about translating the science of co-regulation into the daily rhythm of early learning programs—through small shifts, shared language, and meaningful connection.
