Explore practical foundations of mindfulness for use in common situations with children. Mindfulness practices are a path to learn how you can share a calm presence and emotional regulation with your children every day--especially tough days, joyful days, all days! Learn basic ideas for setting limits as an act of care and love. Investigate embodied presence as a developmental asset for all children, especially those with challenging pasts. Learn how to share your presence through empathy, experience, and example. This helps us give our kids the loving foundation they need for their lifelong development.

Introduce new concepts to children in non-threatening and playful ways that help children understand the world around them through art. Use hands-on exploration with a variety of art materials, activities, and strategies for children of all ages and abilities, to discover these benefits and leave inspired to celebrate and encourage the artists in your program.

40 HOURS OF TRAINING! Register for DevelopMinnesota has moved towards an online system for tracking training and professional development. As this transition takes place, many training sponsors will no longer offer training certificates. FCCI is an approved Develop training sponsor and, while we will continue to offer paper certificates for the time being, we are also recording attendance in the Develop registry.
All providers must sign in at the membership desk and verify your Develop number. This will facilitate entry of your attendance at our training. Without your Develop number FCCI is not able to enter you attendance and you will be responsible to send in a copy of your training certificate to the registry for licensor review. FCCI is no longer able to help you register for Develop at the trainings so please do that prior to attending by clicking the link below.
