Each session Grounded & Growing Online retreat has a different focus. This session will focus on how you stand out from the crowd. As you start thinking about enrollment for next year (wild, but true!), what makes your program different from others? What type of family or staff is going to thrive in your program? These are the kinds of questions we’ll ponder in this month’s retreat.
About Grounded & Growing retreats
Each Grounded & Growing Online retreat invites nature-based early childhood administrators into a deeper exploration of Inside, Outside, and Beyond as layers of connection: to ourselves, to our colleagues, to the children and their families, and to the natural world. There is a different focus for each retreat.
The retreats provide space to reflect on how your own presence—your emotions, mindset, and roles—profoundly influence your program and ultimately shape children’s learning experiences.
These retreats are for you if you’re ready to pause, reflect, and reimagine your role—not just as an administrator of a nature-based program, but as a co-learner, teammate, and leader in a nature-based learning community.
Join us as we do the “deep work” of showing up with intention, authenticity, and care to foster stronger nature-based programs.
