We know learning videos work.

In 2020, COVID-19 created a crossroads for early childhood professional learning

  1. take a long pause until we can meet again in person or

  2. get creative and keep going

My clients and I chose the latter by building and using online training. Even after the peak of COVID, videos continue to add value to teachers’ reflection, growth, and work. Client testimonials assure that this approach is effective and full of potential. Let’s scale it to meet the needs of myriad early learning communities.

SoftSlow is a menu of 90-second videos to help soften gaze, slow breath, and open to positive connection. It is especially for adults who are important to children. Watch one as a team to begin your next staff meeting or when a relaxing visual might contribute to the moment. ♡∞♡
