Join us for our Friday morning welcome session as we reflect on the milestones of the UM Institute for Early Childhood Education and share exciting new tools designed to support and inspire the early childhood field across Montana. This session will spotlight the launch of our new website,
ECEMontana.org, a central hub for connection, collaboration, and professional learning.
Explore two new resources during this unveiling:
Reflect and Connect Learning LibraryThis bite-sized professional development series offers early childhood education teams flexible tools for meaningful growth. Each module includes a short article, reflection and goal-setting tools, and is aligned with NAEYC’s professional standards. Filter by audience or topic and revisit often—new content is added regularly.
Virtual Classroom Walkthrough ToolTake a guided tour through real-world classroom spaces designed to support young learners. This tool offers insight into effective layouts, interactive learning zones, and inspiring setups to help educators and leaders optimize their own environments.
Together, we’ll reflect on where we’ve been—and take the next step forward, growing together.
