Introduction To Reflective Practice for Educators

In the day-to-day rhythm of early learning environments, educators are constantly making decisions, adapting plans, and responding to the needs of the children in their care. Yet, amidst this busy pace, one powerful tool often gets overlooked — reflective practice.

Join us for an engaging and insightful webinar as we introduce the foundations of reflective practice in early childhood education. Whether you're new to the field or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will explore how thoughtful reflection can lead to more intentional teaching, stronger relationships with children and families, and a deeper sense of purpose in your work.

Together, we’ll unpack the why behind reflective practice, look at simple ways to incorporate it into your daily routine, and discover how it supports both personal and professional growth.

We have worked with Anisha over the last few months in a variety of ways. So it began with Anisha coming for a meet and greet she literally dissected our thoughts and our brains at that short timeframe and came up with this master plan on how we are going to better our team and our business and for lack of better words "level up and that is exactly what we did with Anisha. She performs a series of learning and development with our team and they have been a complete success and everyone always looks forward to them"
