About this Event
Grow Your Own: Building the Educators We Need
Great educators don't just appear — they're nurtured by great leaders!
What if your next outstanding teacher, mentor, or early childhood leader is already working in your program?
Join us for an interactive Child Care Directors' Forum focused on discovering hidden potential, developing talent, and building a stronger early childhood workforce — starting within your own program!
Through inspiring stories, meaningful conversations, and engaging activities, you'll:
🌟 Discover the potential within your team and explore ways to help educators grow into future leaders.
💬 Hear a real success story from an ICP Academy participant and her director about the power of investing in professional development.
🌱 Explore practical strategies and resources to support staff growth, strengthen retention, and create opportunities for advancement.
🤝 Connect and collaborate with fellow directors to share ideas, tackle common workforce challenges, and celebrate successes.
Come ready to share, learn, and leave inspired with fresh ideas you can put into action!
Together, we can grow stronger educators, stronger programs, and a stronger early childhood workforce.
Because the future of early childhood education starts with leaders who see potential — and help it grow!
Dinner will be provided, so come hungry and ready for an evening of conversation, collaboration, and connection!
*This event is for directors, owners, and FCCH only!
