Finding the deep and simple in quality early childhood education.
We believe the essential ingredient of early childhood quality starts with everyday interactions between educators and children.
Everyday Interactions Matter (EIM) is a professional development initiative designed to help early childhood educators learn and grow from their own practice. Through a strengths-based process of observation, discussion, and reflection, educators take a close look at the everyday moments they share with children. Video footage of adult-child interactions serves as the raw material for facilitating professional growth.
Using the Everyday Interactions Matter approach, educators observe and reflect upon powerful moments of growing, sharing, learning, and belonging in the ordinary, everyday interactions they share with young children.
