Many child care providers struggle with individualizing for young children. This workshop presents how to design curriculum planning for all, some, and a few children throughout the day. With a focus on in-person and virtual learning child care providers are presented with what individualizing can do for children, families, and child care providers. Providers who are individualizing during the pandemic are presented.

The June 2021 BANANAS Directors’ Roundtable will focus on planning as we look back to reflect on what’s worked in the past and look ahead to what’s needed! Let’s use this time to identify key topics and interest areas to support your work during the 2021-2022 program year. At this meeting, you’ll be asked to give feedback about the impact from past roundtable meetings, reflect on what’s working with our meeting structure, and more importantly, identify ways the BANANAS Directors’ Roundtable can grow and/or change to support your work as ECE leaders and managers. We will be collecting and reviewing data to help inform our path forward and encourage you to use data to make the best-informed decisions for your program’s needs.
