The Power of Relationships
This conference is specifically designed to offer child care providers, early
care educators and families with the opportunity to learn more about factors
that influence infant and toddler development such as physical environments,
attachment and bonding, appropriate discipline strategies, literacy and
communication, building trusting relationships with families, assisting the
child with their individual strengths and challenges, as well as child care
providers and families who are knowledgeable about resources and services
available throughout their communities. OCFS training topics will be covered
as well as CDA topic areas.
Keynote Speaker
Jeff A. Johnson
Jeff A. Johnson opened Explorations Early Learning, a family child care
program, in 2003 with wife, Tasha, after spending 16 years directing a child
care center and community center for a large non-profit agency. Their
program focused on emergent learning in a play-based and child-centered
environment. According to Jeff, “The best thing about our program is that our
days are full of laughs, conversation, play, exploration, discoveries and fun.
We enjoyed creating an environment conducive to “light bulb moments’ –
those moments were kids grasp new ideas.” Jeff and Tasha kept their program
small to accommodate Jeff’s writing and speaking schedule. His audience, as
a writer and speaker, is the hardworking caregivers dedicated to doing right by
children: early care and education professionals, teachers and parents.
On August 14, 2013, they closed their family child care program and retired to
pursue their hobbies; writing books, speaking at early learning events, making
toys, recording podcasts and advocating for child-led play and caregiver selfcare. Jeff presents at early learning conferences all over the United States and
Canada and has even keynoted an international conference in Cork, Ireland.

9:00 - 10:00 a.m.: Keynote – Jeff A. Johnson, Early Childhood Consultant
& Author
Baby Steps – Making Mindful Change
Change--in your work life or home life--is hard and stressful. Lots of early
learning folks leave trainings intending to try new things and make
changes, but all too often life gets busy and the changes never happen.
Let’s look at mindful ways to make change.
10:15 - 11:45 a.m.: Workshops - Session A
1A.
Building Brains with Hands-On Play
Young children learn best through hands-on, up-close-and-personal, in-your-face interactions with the world. The
problem many adult caregivers have with such learning is that it is often messy. Kids who interact closely with
their worlds often end up with their world all over their hands, face, and clothes. This session looks at why messy
play is an important part of early learning, messy play ideas, and tools and tips to help caregivers make messy
okay.

La Importancia de Tener las Rutinas para los Niños Jóvenes
Las rutinas son las acciones y eventos que se repiten a los intervalos regulares. Ellos son una manera conveniente
de organizar a nosotros y los niños que nosotros queremos. Las rutinas pueden mantener estructura, consuelo y
seguridad para que niños pueden estar experimentando su primer tiempo fuera de casa o sus padres cuando ellos
entran en su facilidad de cuidado de niño. En este taller nosotros exploraremos muchos beneficios de tener las
rutinas para los niños jóvenes y por qué ellos son tan importantes.

Babies in the Rain
Like it or not, since everything infants and toddlers encounter is new, exciting, and a chance to learn, caregivers
are Professional Role Models. Sadly, too many small children are spending valuable learning time confined to
swings, bouncy seats, and cribs or exposed to developmentally inappropriate practices and materials because their
caregivers are pressured, misguided, or uninformed. This session looks at these issues and ways caregivers can be
more thoughtful, intentional, and tuned-in to the dance of early learning.

CDA Topic Area: Self, Communication & Social

Classroom Music Centers: Supporting Exploration, Play and Creativity through Music
Effective music centers can be challenging to build and sustain since the process of making music is not as
concrete as a building block, costume or paintbrush. This workshop will help participants design a music center
for their particular classroom space that gives the children tools as well as models for being independent music
makers. Ideas and activities that facilitate music exploration and music play will be taught. Information about
selecting instruments and creating the music space will be shared. Finally, participants will experience and learn
about stages of music play that correlate to Parten’s Six Stages of Play.

Como Ser Intencionales en la Preparación del Ambiente de Aprendizaje
El entorno nos envía mensajes que influyen las decisiones que tomamos. Estas decisiones generan nuestra base de
conocimiento que llamamos la educación. Por lo tanto aprendemos de acuerdo a los mensajes que recibimos de
nuestro entorno. El proceso de generar un ambiente de aprendizaje reflexivo donde se apoya el desarrollo
humano, requiere del proveedor la habilidad de ser intencional en la preparación del entorno de acuerdo a las
necesidades socio-emocionales, físicas e cognitivas del niño durante la primera infancia. Este taller de
capacitación ofrecerá estrategias básicas que apoyan al adulto en reconocer los mensajes que recibe el niño del
entorno y como ser intencionales en planificar actividades que apoyan el desarrollo socio-emocional de acuerdo a
las destrezas pro-sociales con aplicaciones practicas y sencillas relacionadas con las rutinas diarias.
