Trying to maneuver your way through the preschool admissions process can be both complicated and overwhelming. Choosing the right preschool is the first educational decision you will make for your child and it is a major one. Research shows that the child’s first school experience sets a precedence for how the child will view school throughout their educational career.
This process is difficult and confusing and many parents choose preschools based on the recommendation of others. While the opinion of other parents matters each child is unique and what may be right for one child may not be for another. This seminar addresses the different schools of thought for preschools (developmentally appropriate, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and Cooperative), what to ask at interviews and open houses and what to look for when visiting the schools.
Please join Karina Money, M.A. to find out how to operate within the complex world of the preschool admissions process. Karina Money is the President of Right Path / New England, Boston’s premier educational consulting firm in Cambridge, MA and is the mother of a three year old son who is about to embark on his preschool journey this Fall.

Administrators will break down and assess how to set clear standards, set an example for the team, and ultimately create a culture of retention and motivation.
The Super Secret Solution to Peaceful TransitionsShannaDusza
Chaotic and unpredictable routines can create an environment of disarray in the classroom. Explore why peaceful transitions are essential to creating calm, predictable, and engaging routines for young children. Next, the early educator will gather information on making fewer, shorter, and logical transitions. Finally, identify solutions and best practices to improve transitions in their classroom.
Sense of Self and Social Emotional DevelopmentShannaDusza
Enhance your understanding of the sense of self and social-emotional development; this course will discuss social/emotional development stages and strategies to support a child’s sense of self and examine the classroom and curriculum for opportunities to support development. The early educator will gain skills to connect and assist with social-emotional development in their classroom.
The role of the parent is to advocate for their child. This advocacy can come in many forms and can sometimes generate conflict between caregivers, teachers, and parents. In this session, we will discuss the important role of parents, how to respond appropriately to inappropriate parents, and how to develop effective partnerships where both parties are respected and actively working for the good of the child.
Review the cognitive, physical, and language development of toddlers and discuss best practices for creating an enriched environment and curriculum specifically for this age group. Participants will see examples of toddler programs, gain new strategies, and better understand this unique stage of development.
Literacy begins far before writing our ABCs, as early as infancy literacy is developed in young children. So how do early childhood educators support literacy for infants? Beyond writing and reading, how do young children learn literacy? This course will define literacy for early childhood and highlight the educator's role in supporting children of different ages and abilities.
In an underserved field, how do we maintain growth on the business side of our schools? Directors and administrators are responsible for operating budgets for child care and preschool programs. Through retaining staff and smart financial decisions, this course will look at the current challenges of program budgets and how to proactively plan to ensure quality and stability.
Best Practices for Observation and AssessmentShannaDusza
Effective teachers must conduct observations and assess development to individualize learning and guide development. Finding time to observe, document, and assess can seem overwhelming. In this session, we review the fundamentals of observation and discuss practical solutions to getting it done in a busy classroom. We will also examine assessment tools, including teacher-made measures, when and how to do them, and then how to discuss assessments with parents.
The most important role in the center is the caregiver. Yet the hiring process for this critical role is often rushed. Recruitment of quality staff is challenging and takes time and effort. The Director must find a balance between meeting the pressing demands of enrollment and ratios with finding the right caregiver to fill the position. In this training, we will discuss how to pro-actively hire talented teachers that will add to the quality of the program. We will learn best practices for managing the labor budget, hiring for attitude and training for skill, and creating a culture of quality.
Intentional, nature-rich, well-designed outdoor learning environments have a high perceived value and contribute to consumer satisfaction. In addition, the growing millennial demand for natural play and aesthetically pleasing, environmentally friendly spaces means that programs can rethink outdoor spaces. We will explore the benefits, added value, and cost-effectiveness of nature-rich spaces in this session.
Communicating Effectively Across GenerationsShannaDusza
What does the year you were born have to do with your communication style? Or your work ethic? In this course, participants will explore multiple generations including "Baby Boomers", "Gen X", "Millennials", and "Gen Z" and their characteristics to understand how to navigate relationships and future collaboration.
From an early age, mealtimes influence children in their social development. Through family-style dining, children can practice independence and self-help skills. This course will review the benefits of family-style dining, as well as how teachers can intentionally scaffold learning during these gatherings.
When we think of a school-aged classroom, the first image we might reflect on is an old school desk and chalkboard. However, school-aged children benefit from a curated and carefully developed environment as defined in this course. While following general center guidelines, participants can compare and contrast their classrooms with best practices and strategically develop methods to transition to a high-quality classroom.
By asking, “How do I respond to expectations?” you can gain critical insight. We all face both outer expectations (work deadlines) and inner expectations (New Year’s resolutions). Our response to expectations determines whether we’re an Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework helps us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively with other people.
Set the stage for children's learning, interactions, behavior, and curiosity. The classroom environment, when carefully curated, is a silent teacher, one that allows the child to learn independently with their interests leading the way. In this course, participants will explore the benefits of a developed classroom and how the environment becomes "The Third Teacher".
"The genius of communication is the ability to be both totally honest and totally kind at the same time." -John Powell.
Communication is the core of relationships between staff members, and completely changes the environment of the center. This course will help pinpoint communication struggles and how you communicate as a director to improve the productivity and dynamic of your center.
Cognitive Development in Infants and ToddlersShannaDusza

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• Real tools
• Accessibility
• Beauty and order
• Competence and responsibility
• Children are allowed responsibilities
• Large blocks of open-ended time
• Observation
• Follow the child
6. Principles of Montessori
• Respect for the child
As a rule, however, we do not respect children. We try to force them to follow us without
regard to their special needs. We are overbearing with them, and above all, rude; and then
we expect them to be submissive and well-behaved, knowing all the time how strong is
their instinct of imitation and how touching their faith in and admiration of us. They will
imitate us in any case. Let us treat them, therefore, with all the kindness which we would
wish to help to develop in them (Montessori, 1965).
What is respect?
How do we show it to others?
7. The Teacher’s Role - Montessori
• Make children the center of learning because, as Montessori said, “The
teacher’s task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for
cultural activity in a special environment made for the child” (Dr. Montessori's
Own Handbook).
• Encourage children to learn by providing freedom for them in the prepared
environment.
• Observe children so as to prepare the best possible environment, recognizing
sensitive periods and diverting inappropriate behavior to meaningful tasks.
• Prepare the learning environment by ensuring that learning materials are
provided in an orderly format and the materials provide for appropriate
experiences for all the children.
• Respect each child and model ongoing respect for all children and their work.
• Introduce learning materials, demonstrate learning materials, and support
children’s learning. The teacher introduces learning materials after observing
each child.
