Beyond Behaviors: Building Connection & Social-Emotional Skills in Before & After-School Programs

This interactive workshop equips educators with practical strategies to address behaviors in before and after-school programs through connection, social-emotional learning, and guidance techniques. Participants will explore the root causes of behaviors, learn how to foster trust and emotional regulation, and gain effective tools to guide children in positive ways. Through hands-on activities and real-world scenarios, educators will leave with actionable insights to create a more supportive and engaging environment.
