WHY

The Audacious Foundation is pleased to sponsor this year's SBC Early Childhood Center & TK Directors and Teachers Retreat on October 16-18.

Over the two days, participants will:

• Connect with other directors and teachers for on-going support after the event

• Learn from hands-on workshops and dynamic speakers

• Participate in the Best Practices Handbook contest

• Tour three high-quality model centers

• Relax with yoga and wellness sessions

• Enjoy two fun evening events

A key component of the Retreat is the opportunity to tour model ECE programs that are providing innovative, high quality early education. During the Retreat, we will visit local high-quality centers for inspiration and fresh ideas.

Another highly useful tool provided at the Retreat is the Best Practices Handbook that every year highlights 50+ innovative ideas from participating centers that teachers and directors can take back to share with their team.

The Retreat is being underwritten by the Audacious Foundation including all content, all meals, two fun evenings, and a shared hotel room for two nights.

All that attendees need to provide is their own transportation to and from the hotel, and an emailed page describing a Best Practice from their program to share with fellow attendees in the Best Practices Handbook. More information will be provided to attendees to make this step easy.
