In every classroom, on every playground, and over every shared meal, there are opportunities for healing. This immersive session invites early childhood educators and professionals to reconnect with their own wisdom, intuition, and power as everyday healers in the lives of young children.

Facilitated by educator and author Mike Browne, MBA, this webinar is more than professional development—it’s a restorative experience for the heart of our field. Together, we’ll explore how healing-centered practices can live in the routines and relationships that define early childhood care and education. Through story, breath, and reflection, participants will consider how trauma shows up in our classrooms and communities—and how safety, connection, and regulation can be offered in even the smallest interactions.

Whether you’re a teacher, cook, driver, family advocate, or administrator, your presence matters. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationship. Together, we’ll remember that care is collective, and that every role in early childhood education is a healing role.

Intentions (Learning Objectives):

This session is not just about understanding trauma—it’s about:

• Restoring ourselves so we can hold space for children and families
• Honoring lived experience as wisdom
• Deepening connection, safety, and care across all roles
• Creating environments where everyone feels seen and valued
• Moving toward healing in community—through story, rhythm, reflection, and breath
