Professional Development for Early Childhood Professionals, Educators & Organizations

Sharpen your early care and education expertise with Erikson.

Empowering Early Childhood Professionals

Equipping leaders to support young children.

A child’s first 1,800 days are vitally important in their development and play an important role throughout their lives. Positive early experiences can lead to higher academic achievement, better health, and greater overall well-being later in life. Strengthening the relationships between child and parent, or child and caregiver are essential to providing high-quality care for all children.

The care and education of children from infancy to Pre-K through second grade are vital to a child’s continued success. Erikson provides comprehensive learning and professional development programs for home-based child care, private centers, schools, districts, and systems in subject areas that include social and emotional learning, literacy, math, family engagement, and more. These programs are intended for early childhood teachers and administrators, early care professionals and organizations, both nationally and internationally.

“ I’m not an expert in math at all, but working with Erikson, I was surprised how much I learned about it and how important early math is. I’m excited to learn how to further support parent engagement around early math. ”

“ When I first saw the FAN presented, I said, ‘This is it! This is the tool for helping home visitors engage and connect better with families.’ I have seen professionals develop a whole new understanding of their practice with families and implement strategies that help them to truly partner with parents. ”
