JOIN US!

JI's Early Childhood Mental Health team is offering a Dine + Learn sessions once a month for directors and/or teachers to join us via Zoom. Each month, we will discuss a topic seen widely across centers, then open it up for you all to ask questions, talk through what behaviors you are seeing at your program, discuss resources in the community, collaborate, and partner!

The Growing Brain Series

All babies are born with billions of neurons bumping around their brains… but very few of those neurons are connected. That’s where YOU come in! The Growing Brain virtual training provides early childhood professionals with the knowledge, support, and evidence-based strategies they can use in everyday moments to support healthy brain development and build the connections babies need for success now and later in life.
