This summer, Erikson Institute is offering several professional development opportunities for early childhood professionals to deepen their knowledge and hone their skills in working effectively with young children and their families.  

These virtual and in-person workshops, led by experts from Erikson Institute, will give participants deep dives into the power of relationships in working with infants/toddlers, early math concepts and practice. Professional Development credits are available. Check out our line-up and details below:
