ECE Management Training Workshop:

Creating a Healthy Outlook as an Educator

Working in early years settings is deeply rewarding—but it can also be demanding, emotionally complex, and fast-paced. Nurturing your own well-being is essential to sustaining both your passion and your effectiveness as an educator. This workshop focuses on practical strategies that help educators cultivate a healthy outlook, maintain balance, and support their overall wellness—both inside and outside the program.

Workshop Hosted By

Julie Hansen

Early Childhood Educator, Consultant, and Author

Through reflective discussion and tangible tools, participants will explore how small, intentional shifts can create a more positive, grounded, and sustainable approach to their work.

In this workshop, we explore:

Understanding the emotional labour of early years education and its impact on well-being
Building self-awareness around stress, fatigue, and personal wellness needs
Practical strategies to incorporate moments of calm, pause, and reset throughout the day
How to set healthy boundaries that protect your energy while staying connected to your team
Mindset tools for navigating challenging behaviours, busy environments, and unexpected situations
Creating supportive routines that promote balance between work and personal life
Ways administrators and teams can foster a culture of care and well-being for educators

Participants will leave with:

A collection of simple well-being practices that can be used daily
Strategies to shift mindset and reduce overwhelm in high-stress moments
Reflection prompts to deepen self-understanding and identify personal wellness needs
A greater sense of confidence in maintaining balance and preserving their passion for the field
Ideas to bring back to their teams to help cultivate a shared culture of wellness

This workshop is ideal for early years educators, support staff, and leaders who want to prioritize their well-being and develop sustainable habits that strengthen their professional and personal resilience.

Testimonials

Management and leadership courses offered by an Early Childhood Educator truly is a gift in this line of work. Julie Hansen’s insight and understanding of childcare and early learning dynamics developed my skills and confidence as a manager. Her ideas are innovative, thoughtful and easy to implement for myself and my team. I enjoyed my one to one coaching calls, team workshops and leadership series I have taken with Julie. I recommend her to any new or veteran ECE or ECE Manager.

I would recommend Julie Hansen, Inspired ECE to anyone in the Early Childhood Education field! Julie has been a positive influence in my life with all of her workshops and resources. Julie has so much knowledge of all of the areas of Early Childhood Education and quality early learning experiences. I always walk away with something new and many ideas to take back to my own programs after attending a workshop with Julie . I’ve also done a consultation with Julie regarding recruiting ECE’s and she had so much advice to offer. Thanks to Julie’s advice, I was able to hire not one but TWO Educators for my center. If you’re looking for professional development opportunities and/or professional consulting, I highly recommend connecting with Julie!
