Steps You Can Take To Ensure High Quality ECE/ECSE
Raise Your EQ
Leaders with high emotional intelligence (EQ for short) support responsive relationships, strengthen the capacity of others to teach critical life skills, and buffer and reduce stressors for those they serve.
Be a Play Advocate
In this age of accountability, we need everyone to "Peter Pan" believe in the power of play. This also means everyone needs to be up-to-date on the latest brain research, and to truly understand what supports or hinders early development and learning.
Reduce ECE Stressors
Research from across disciplines, including neuroscience and education, recognize the impact stressors have on development and learning. When children are flooded with emotions, they are not able to benefit from the instruction provided. Educational teams need training and support on the impact stressors play in early development and learning, and strategies for reframing their approach to "challenging behaviors."

Support Blended Practices
The term blended practices is used to refer to the integration of practices that can be used to address the needs of all children in inclusive settings. Blended practices ensures different outcomes are taught differently through intentional embedded learning opportunities. Which in turn, allows all children to receive the support they need to learn and develop.
