LifeWays for All: $10 Webinar Series
LifeWays has a new series of webinars created to bring lasting warmth, intention and joy into your life with children!
Each webinar meets for just one hour over Zoom so that it is easy to fit into a full family life. Spend a little bit of time with one of LifeWays veteran pedagogues on topics that range from nurturing your relationships to deepening your understanding of how to meet the children in your care and your home.
In order to create a feeling of togetherness, these webinars will not be recorded and we kindly insist that you arrange for your video screens to be turned on. A background of family life is understood and welcome.

Let the Moment Speak: Celebrating Festivals with Young Children with Jerilyn Burke
Saturday, November 15, 11 am Central
Seasonal festivals root us gently in nature’s turning. They invite us to create moments that speak to the heart and senses, impressions that linger in our homes and our very being. For our youngest children, festivals are not to be explained but lived. Join us this November to dive deeper and feel more confident in creating meaningful ways to celebrate the holiday season.
