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\, 6:00PM-7:00PM \nTrainer: Julie Buechler \nLocation: Zoom \nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:Windham Network: The Responsive Educator: A Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:This training series is closed to the Windham Network. To attend this training\, please join the network by emailing Melissa Mroz-Gaskill and Jessica Farquhar at missymg64@gmail.com and jaf122407@gmail.com. Not in your area? To find a Vermont Early Childhood Network in your area\, click HERE. \nThe Responsive Educator is a professional development opportunity designed to support early educators in building deeper understanding of responsive practice. Grounded in the belief that children thrive when their identities\, backgrounds\, and unique needs are honored\, this learning experience introduces educators to strategies that promote truly inclusive\, identity-affirming environments. Through a Community of Practice (CoP)\, participants will reflect on their daily interactions\, share insights with peers\, and explore practical approaches for meeting the diverse needs of children and families. This collaborative PD strengthens educators’ confidence\, intentionality\, and commitment to ensuring every child is seen\, valued\, and feels a strong sense of belonging. \nThe Responsive Educator PD is offered as a Community of Practice made up of 6 sessions that included guided reflection\, collaborative discussion\, and practical strategies for responsive practice. In addition to the facilitated meetings. Participants complete brief out-of-class activities – such as reflections or classroom application tasks – which are counted toward the professional development hours. Together\, the in-session learning and out-of-class work support educators in applying responsive practices directly in their daily interactions with children and families. \nDates & Times: February 24\, 2026\, 6:00PM-8:00PM \nTrainer: Anne Simonds \nLocation: Winston Prouty\, Brattleboro\, VT \nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:The Blue Brain - Being Male\, Young & Energetic
DESCRIPTION:Let’s debunk bad science. The male vs. female brain “research” is filled with myths. Most of the differences in development are the result of nurture not nature. This presentation will examine the few innate differences in male and female brains then go on to look at how parents\, peers and society influence the wiring of our most complex system. The program concludes by asking if “Rough and Tumble Play” belongs in childhood and offers time for action steps in addressing the blue brain. \nDates & Time: January 15\, 2026\,  6:00PM-7:00PM \nFebruary 19\, 2026\,  6:00PM-7:00PM \nTrainer: Scott Noyes \nLocation: Zoom \nClick Here to Register
