ECE Management Training Workshop:

Empowering Educators as They Embark on Their Learning Journey

Supporting educators as they grow, reflect, and build confidence is essential to creating strong, thriving early years programs. Whether an educator is new to the field or stepping into a new stage of professional development, the right guidance can help them feel valued, supported, and inspired.

Workshop Hosted By

Julie Hansen

Early Childhood Educator, Consultant, and Author

This workshop focuses on how administrators, mentors, and team leads can create meaningful pathways for educator growth—grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and a culture of continuous learning.

In this workshop, we explore:

What a “learning journey” looks like for early years educators at all stages
The role of mentorship and how to build supportive relationships that uplift and encourage
Strategies for fostering reflective practice and professional curiosity
How to create opportunities for educators to explore new skills, take initiative, and build confidence
Effective ways to provide feedback that motivates rather than overwhelms
Creating individualized learning plans that honour each educator’s strengths, goals, and passions
Building a program-wide culture where growth is celebrated and supported

Participants will leave with:

Practical tools to support educator development in meaningful, responsive ways
Approaches for nurturing a team culture rooted in trust, encouragement, and shared learning
Strategies to help educators feel empowered, capable, and connected as they grow
Reflection prompts and conversation starters to take back to their programs

This workshop is ideal for administrators, supervisors, mentors, and anyone looking to cultivate a positive, empowering learning environment for educators as they embark on their professional journey.

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!
