Be Well, Teach Well
KAIMH is excited to announce the launch of an 8-month learning collaborative for early childhood center directors focused on building resiliency through self-care, titled, “Be Well, Teach Well.” This program is limited to ten qualifying individuals who operate a licensed child care center in Kansas and supervise a minimum of five staff. In this collaborative we will learn strategies for managing stress, well-being tips for directors and staff, and a roadmap for creating a culture of caring. Director capacity to meet one-on-one with teaching staff is highly valued in this project. To support this, monthly scholarships to help pay for substitute teachers and participation stipends are included.
This learning collaborative has only ten available slots, so priority will be given to applicants willing to commitment to monthly virtual meetings as well as one-on-one meetings with five of their teaching staff. KAIMH is accepting applications through February 6, 2025.
