Trainings
At Intentional Teaching, our trainings are designed to do more than meet state requirements—they’re built to transform how educators show up in the classroom and in life. Each session is KDHE-approved, interactive, and rooted in both research-based practices and intentional living strategies. From our flagship 6-hour training, Leading One Breath & Step at a Time, to specialized 1- and 2-hour workshops, we help teachers, directors, and caregivers reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and create positive learning environments where children can thrive. Whether you join us at a public event or bring us into your center, our goal is the same: to equip you with tools and inspiration that make every moment matter.

Customized
Every center has its own unique culture, challenges, and strengths. That’s why our professional development goes beyond “one-size-fits-all” training. We partner with directors and staff to create intentional, customized experiences that meet your team exactly where they are.
Through discovery surveys, planning conversations, and tailored activities, we design workshops that focus on the areas your staff needs most—whether that’s communication, team culture, preventing burnout, or building positive learning environments. These sessions can be scheduled as single trainings, or the 6-hour program can be broken into smaller segments for maximum impact.
Our goal is simple: to strengthen the whole team so that educators feel supported, connected, and inspired—and children and families reap the benefits of staff who thrive
