There are so many reasons to join the MyPeers social network! It's the best place for early childhood professionals to brainstorm, exchange ideas, and share resources with colleagues from across the country. Members can join communities and workgroups dedicated to specific roles, topics, and regions. Connect with others around Eligibility, Recruitment, Selection, Enrollment, and Attendance (ERSEA); Practice-Based Coaching; staff wellness; mental health; and more. Members are even sharing examples of policies, forms, flyers, and plans from their own programs to help their colleagues develop innovative practices!
