Your Journey

Your Program.
Your Cohort. Your Growth.

What to Expect

Self-Paced Modules

Work through content on your own schedule. Every module is built on the Childcare Leadership Infrastructure Framework™ and designed for working administrators.

Virtual Cohort Meetings

Come together with your colleagues 6 times over 6 to 12 weeks — 90 minutes to 2 hours per session — to discuss, apply, and build on what you are learning.

Shared Language

Leave every session with practical tools and a common framework your whole organization can use — the same language, the same standard, across every location.

Your Resources

Everything you need
is included.

Your program includes two companion books by Carrie Casey and Kate Woodward Young, M.Ed. — the text and workbook that guide you through the full CLIF™ framework alongside your cohort. These are not supplemental reading. They are the foundation of every session.

Your Cohort

You are not going
through this alone.

Your cohort is made up of colleagues from your own organization. You will learn together, apply the framework together, and build a shared leadership language together. What you take back to your center, they take back to theirs.

How Your Cohort Works

6 Virtual Sessions

Scheduled over 6 to 12 weeks — flexible to fit your organization's calendar.

90 Minutes to 2 Hours Each

Focused, facilitated time — not filler. Every session is built around real application.

Your Colleagues, Your Culture

You are learning with people who share your organization's goals — not strangers from other companies.

Facilitated Discussion

Each session applies the CLIF™ framework to real situations you are actually facing.
