Professional Development

Discover how to foster essential emotional skills in children from birth to five through this experiential workshop on the Choose Love Formula.

Through interactive activities and practical demonstrations, you’ll gain developmentally appropriate strategies that transform both your professional practice and personal well-being.

Walk away with immediately applicable techniques for creating emotionally intelligent environments where young children—and their caregivers—can thrive.

The Early Years
The first five years of life represent the most critical window for social-emotional development—a period when children form the neural pathways that will shape their lifelong capacity for self-regulation, empathy, and healthy relationships. Yet many caregivers lack concrete tools to nurture these essential skills during this formative stage.

This transformative workshop delivers a comprehensive framework for integrating the powerful Choose Love Formula into early childhood settings, providing you with both the understanding and practical strategies to foster emotional intelligence from the very beginning.

The Workshop Experience:
Rather than simply discussing theory, this workshop immerses you in the actual practices of the Choose Love Formula. Through carefully sequenced experiential activities, you’ll personally engage with each component—Courage, Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Compassion—exactly as you would guide young children through these concepts.

This dual-focus approach ensures you not only understand how to implement these practices with children but also experience their profound effects on your own well-being as a caregiver.

What You’ll Discover:

• Developmentally Appropriate Practices: Age-specific techniques for introducing emotional concepts to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers through play, movement, sensory experiences, and daily routines
• The Neuroscience Connection: How early Choose Love practices literally shape brain development, creating stronger neural pathways for emotional regulation and social connection
• Environment Design: Practical ways to create physical spaces that reinforce emotional safety, curiosity, and self-expression
• Challenging Behavior Solutions: Specific strategies for using the Choose Love Formula to address common behavioral challenges through connection rather than correction
• Family Engagement: Simple, accessible ways to extend Choose Love practices into home environments, creating consistency for young children

Benefits You’ll Experience:

• Immediate reduction in classroom behavioral challenges through enhanced emotional vocabulary
• Stronger, more authentic connections with the children in your care
• Increased professional confidence in addressing emotional development
• Reduced caregiver stress and burnout through personal application of Choose Love practices
• A supportive community of like-minded early childhood professionals
• Renewed purpose and joy in your caregiving role

Who This Workshop Serves:
This experience is designed for anyone who cares for young children from birth to five—early childhood educators, childcare providers, parents, grandparents, home visitors, and early intervention specialists. The practices adapt seamlessly across settings from formal classrooms to home environments.

Your Investment Returns:
The strategies you gain will not only enhance children’s developmental outcomes but also transform your experience as a caregiver. By nurturing emotional intelligence from the beginning, you’re helping create a generation of children who navigate life with greater resilience, empathy, and connection.

Join us in discovering how the Choose Love Formula can revolutionize your approach to early childhood—creating a foundation of emotional well-being that benefits both the children you serve and yourself as their guide.
