Testimonials From Past Participants:

Chris YR.

Early Childhood Educator

Ana was there every step of the way to support the participants. Ana facilitated several different ways for participants to receive support from her and the other participants.

Carli M.

PROGRAM MANAGER

I took Ana’s workshop on creating and facilitating workshops to help me build confidence in becoming a facilitator. Ana provided feedback and was always there to support me through building my workshop and presenting it. She answered any questions I had and gave me a lot of great advice. After I facilitated my first workshop with Ana she not only helped me during the facilitation process but also helped me understand how I could improve. After facilitating my second one I felt way more confident in my abilities and very well supported. Ana has also been willing to connect me with her wide-reaching network of organizations and individuals who hire early years facilitators. This has also increased my income potential. I recommend working with Ana and Early Years Thriving if you are seeking to start or level up as a facilitator. Ana is professional and easy to work with and genuinely cares about the success of the people she coaches. I look forward to facilitating with Early Years Thriving again!

Lobna A.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR

Attending the Early Years Thriving workshop about creating and facilitating workshops helped me as RECE and Early Childhood Leader ECL. It shaped my understanding of audience needs, facilitation methods, purpose and objective of facilitation for educators. Moreover, it opened a door for me to facilitate a workshop at the Early Years Thriving about micro-aggression in the ECE workplace. Working with Ana allowed me to facilitate with confidence and passion. Her motivation is highly appreciated as she believed in my potential and strengths and guided me with great tips to facilitate a successful workshop. Attending a workshop about creating and facilitating workshops was an eye-opener to learn more about adult education. It motivated me to enroll in the Adult Education Certificate program. Thank you Early Years Thriving and Ana for the great help for educators so they can learn, facilitate and thrive!

Rita T.

Registered EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR

This program has helped me gain the confidence I needed in order to develop my own workshops. It has inspired me and opened my eyes to new possibilities in my future. The facilitating tips Ana provided were the little golden nuggets of the course. The templates are very user-friendly and I will definitely be using them in the future. Thank you Ana for creating a great 6-week course!
