Professional Development 

According to the Society for Human Resources Management, nearly one-half of HR professionals (48%) indicate that training existing employees is the most effective recruiting strategy for hard-to-fill positions at their organization. Did you know that employees stay in a position when they are mentored, challenged, involved, valued and empowered? So why is it that many early childhood programs invest so little in their employees' ongoing professional development? The fact is, many of the operational issues within centers, schools, agencies or nonprofit organizations can be traced back to the lack of employee training.

At Better Futures, we strive to leverage professional development as an opportunity for staff to reflect and recharge their batteries. Our trainings provide a "safe space" for them to connect with one another as staff, learn new skills and ultimately build a pool of internal talent inside your organization, which is of value to the entire organization.  Furthermore, custom training ensures that each session is built on current research and effective business practices, in an effort to guide and educate those who care for and about young children, toward effectiveness and fidelity. Our hands-on approach begins with understanding your "why".
