NEW - FEBRUARY PD AND BEYOND
Due to decreased engagement with planned PD opportunities, Embolden PDC has made the difficult decision to put a pause on group professional development hosted by Embolden PDC.
Our focus will now shift to securing strategic partnerships with local early childhood coaches and facilitators to help ensure our members can access affordable professional development opportunities.
