Health, Safety, and Professional Practice Part 1 - Fall 2026

This learning experience introduces the core ideas that shape healthy, safe, and nourishing early learning environments. Learners explore how physical and emotional well‑being influence children’s development, and examine practices that support safety, responsive relationships, and strong partnerships with families. 

A central focus of this experience is the educator’s own resilience and wellness. Learners engage with strategies that help manage stress, build confidence, and “teach from the inside out,” creating environments where both children and adults can thrive. 

Throughout this experience, you will apply what you learn in your daily practice and develop routines that support healthy, supportive learning settings for young children.
