Did you know? Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is more common than many people realize, yet it is often misunderstood or goes unrecognized. Understanding how FASD can affect learning, communication, behavior, and self-regulation helps early childhood professionals create supportive, inclusive environments where every child can thrive.

Join us on September 9 for Learning the Basics: FASD to build your understanding of FASD and learn practical strategies you can use to support children and partner with families.

✨ Registration is just $5 thanks to the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council.

📅 Three-Part Training Series Begins August 13

Did you know? Children reach developmental milestones at their own pace. Recognizing when a child may benefit from additional support and knowing where to connect families with resources can make a meaningful difference in a child's development and long-term success.

Join us for Developmental Delays & Disabilities: Navigating Resources and Supports, a three-part professional development series designed to help child care providers better understand developmental delays and disabilities, identify available resources, and build stronger partnerships with families.

Series Schedule
📅 August 13 – Introduction to developmental delays, disabilities, resources, and supports
💬 August 20 – Follow-up discussion with Missy Romano from Harford County Public Schools, featuring additional information, questions, and action planning
💬 August 27 – Continue the conversation with Missy as you strengthen your knowledge and develop practical next steps for your program

Participants who attend all three sessions will earn 5 COK hours.

✨ Registration is just $5 thanks to the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council.

Did you know that strong relationships are one of the most powerful tools for supporting children's learning and development?

Children don't need perfect environments. They need caring adults who build trust, foster connection, and create spaces where they feel safe, valued, and understood.

Join us virtually on August 12 for Connection vs. Perfection to explore practical, relationship-based strategies you can use every day in your child care program.

✨ Training is just $5 thanks to support from the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council.

As children head back to school, let's celebrate the many ways they learn, grow, communicate, and connect.

Developmental delays are one part of human diversity. Every child brings unique strengths, perspectives, and gifts to their classroom and community. When we focus on belonging, meaningful relationships, and individualized support, all children have the opportunity to thrive.

Together, we can create early learning environments where every child is welcomed, valued, and included.

💜 Because every child deserves to belong.
