It is critically important that early childhood programs commit to teaching and supporting each and every child and eliminate the use of suspension and expulsion. Join this webinar to learn how your program can develop a child guidance policy that reflects your commitment to all children’s social, emotional, and behavioral success. Our guest speakers have published two books that help early educators rethink and strengthen their discipline policies and create a child guidance policy aligned with a commitment to the Pyramid Model.
