SUMMARY:Before the Words: Supporting Communication and Connection in the Preverbal Years
DESCRIPTION:What does communication look like before language? This session helps educators understand and support the earliest forms of expression—crying, body movements, gestures, and shared attention. We’ll explore how to respond respectfully, encourage turn-taking, and foster rich emotional and social exchanges even before children begin speaking.\nPresenter: Monica Chan\nMonica, an educator and early childhood specialist, empowers ECEs with practical, child-centered strategies to foster emotional regulation, teamwork, and independent problem-solving. With expertise in child development and a focus on responsive, respectful practices, Monica helps educators build stronger connections and nurturing environments.\nZoom links will be sent on the day of the workshop; please contact our office if you do not receive one.\n
