SUMMARY:Why Recognition Matter and Career Supports
DESCRIPTION:The ECE Profession Bill\, which would establish professional recognition for early childhood educators\, is working its way through Vermont’s Legislature. This professional development workshop provides essential background for early childhood educators who are curious about or just learning about this bill. This series is offered during the day and in the evening\, and all sessions cover the same content. \nParticipants will learn about the field-led initiative that started the conversation\, what to expect during the legislative session\, how educator voices have influenced the bill and can continue to inform the process\, and why professional recognition benefits early childhood educators\, children\, and families. \nThe session will also include information on Career Pathways to Licensure\, exploring how Vermont’s developing pathways connect to the goals of the ECE Profession Bill and support a strong\, professionalized early childhood workforce. \nPresenters will include Rachel Hunter\, Kim Freeman\, Beth Wallace\, and Adiya Kagan (presenter lineup varies by date). \nIf your organization or group would like to request a dedicated presentation on this topic\, please contact Beth Wallace at beth.wallace@vtaeyc.org. \nDate & Time: Tuesday\, February 10\, 2026\, 12:00PM-1:30PM \nTrainer:  Rachel Hunter \nLocation: Zoom \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Burlington South Network Training: Beyond the Bin: Elevating Sensory Stations for Regulation & Readiness
DESCRIPTION:This is a Burlington South Network Training. If you are interested in joining the Burlington South Network or a different Vermont Early Childhood Network\, please select the appropriate option when you register. \nSensory play is more than just scooping and pouring or a messy activity to fill time. When designed intentionally\, a sensory station (or Tuff Tray) becomes a powerful container for self-regulation\, literacy\, and social skills. In this 2-part series\, we will move beyond the basics and explore:\nThe Science of Regulation: How to design sensory invitations that actually calm the nervous system (including heavy work and proprioception).\nLiteracy & Language: Turning a tray into a “Small World” for storytelling and vocabulary development.\nVELS Alignment: How to document the math\, science\, and social skills happening inside the bin. \nDates & Times: February 10\, 2026\, 6:00PM-8:00PM\, In-person Training \nFeb 17th\, 2026\, 6:00PM-8:00PM\, Virtual Follow-up \nTrainer:  Colleen Christman \nLocation: South Burlington\, VT. Exact location shared in confirmation email. \nClick HERE to Register
