ECE Management Training Workshop:

Effective Communication In ECE Settings

Strong communication is the foundation of every successful early years program. This workshop supports educators, supervisors, and administrators in developing meaningful, clear, and supportive communication practices that strengthen team dynamics and enhance the overall program culture.

Workshop Hosted By

Julie Hansen

Early Childhood Educator, Consultant, and Author

Workshop Description

Participants will explore practical strategies to communicate with confidence, clarity, and compassion—whether navigating day-to-day conversations, providing feedback, collaborating with colleagues, or engaging with families. We will examine the importance of active listening, body language, and tone, as well as how to approach challenging conversations with professionalism and care.

Through real-world scenarios and reflective discussion, educators will learn how to:
Build trusting and respectful communication pathways within the team
Foster open, two-way communication that supports collaboration
Deliver constructive feedback in ways that encourage growth
Navigate misunderstandings and conflict in healthy, solution-focused ways
Strengthen communication with families to support children’s learning and well-being

By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with communication tools and techniques they can apply immediately to create more connected, cohesive, and supportive early years environments.

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!
