The Importance of Home-Based Educator Wellness in Equitable Early Childhood Systems
These resources are from the March 21, 2023 HBCC Webinar
In this session we discussed about the importance of home-based child care educator wellness in creating equitable early childhood systems. Shayla Collins (UW Center for Child & Family Well-Being) modeled some wellness strategies for us that HBCC educators can use as well. Then, Dr. Juliet Bromer (Erikson/HomeGrown) discussed benchmarks for educator wellness. DeCarla Burton (Supporting Professional Network Association/SPNA) illustrated what caring for educator wellness looks like in SPNA and the difference it makes for educators.
