Foundations First: Building Strong Foundations for Children and Educators

At Foundations First Training and Consultancy, we believe that the early years lay the groundwork for lifelong success, not just for children, but for the educators who guide them. Our mission is to empower early childhood professionals and school leaders with high-quality training, resources, and support, thereby fostering the developmental growth of both students and staff.

We offer professional development that is intentional, culturally sustaining, and rooted in evidence-based practices, helping educators plan with purpose and meet the diverse needs of the communities they serve.

Our focus areas include:

Developmental Growth: Deepening understanding of child development and providing practical strategies to nurture each stage of growth.

Culturally Sustaining Practices: Supporting educators in creating inclusive environments that honor and sustain the cultural identities of students and families.

Intentional Planning: Helping educators design learning experiences that are purposeful, developmentally appropriate, and responsive to individual and collective needs.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): Equipping professionals with tools to embed SEL into daily practice, building resilience, empathy, and emotional well-being in children and adults alike.

Through our workshops, coaching, and tailored training sessions, we partner with you to put foundations first — because when educators are equipped and inspired, children thrive.
