SUMMARY:NAEYC Accreditation System Redesign: What Programs Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:NAEYC Accreditation has long set the national standard for high-quality early learning programs. Accreditation signals to families\, educators\, and policymakers that a program prioritizes high-quality learning experiences and continuous improvement. NAEYC has redesigned its accreditation system to better support early learning programs on their path to high-quality early education. The Early Learning Program Quality Assessment and Accreditation System now offers a more inclusive\, flexible\, and streamlined model that reflects the realities of today’s early learning landscape. This new system is more accessible to all program types and aligned with best practices. \nWhether you’re a program seeking accreditation\, a program who is curious to learn more about accreditation\, or a currently accredited program who’d like to learn more about the new system\, SPARQS is here to help you navigate. Join Julie Buechler\, a SPARQS Quality Support Specialist\, to learn more about the NAEYC Accreditation System redesign\, how the redesigned Accreditation system aligns with Vermont’s quality standards (STARS)\, and ways that SPARQS can support your program. \nDates & Time: Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026\, 1:00PM-2:00PM \nTrainer: Julie Buechler \nLocation: Zoom \nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:Addison Evening Network Training: Brain Based Responses to Challenging Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Challenging behavior can be extremely frustrating\, especially when our usual tricks aren’t working. In this training\, we will peek into the brains of children whose behavior adults find challenging and discover how their nervous systems may be driving their behavior. Then\, through this new lens\, we will explore brain-based approaches to prevent and address challenging behavior. We will also consider how our own nervous systems might be working against us during these moments and discuss ways to keep ourselves regulated in order to respond more helpfully to challenging behaviors. \nThis is an Addison Evening Network Training. If you are interested in joining the Addison Evening Network\, please select the appropriate option within the question: “Are you a member of the Addison Evening Network?” \nDates & Times: March 19\, 2026\, 6:00PM-8:00PM \nTrainer:  Aricha Gilpatrick Drury \nLocation: Zoom \nClick Here to Register
