Conscious Discipline Institute, Birth to Five Years

More Information About This Orlando Teacher Event

• Who Should Attend Our Educator Event in Orlando, FL?

  Anyone with a love for learning and growing in mind and spirit is welcome at Conscious Discipline events. Educators and parents share the same hopes and dreams for their children’s futures; ergo, it makes sense that both are invited and included in the path to better skills in care and education.

  At the Conscious Discipline Institute, we refer to attendees and instructors as a School Family. This means we are connected through our love of strengthened intellect and transformative desire for a brighter tomorrow for our kiddos. At Conscious Discipline events, you can expect to walk away with newfound hope and joy for what you do, as well as new friendships, a better understanding of the minds and hearts of young children, and how to connect through new learning strategies.

  We welcome beginners and returning School Family alums alike! We are always happy to have you!

  It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been to a Conscious Discipline event or if you’ve been to a dozen; we invite you to join us for each one. Regardless of where you are in your academic career or as a caregiver, we guarantee fresh perspectives, guided examples to demonstrate new skills, and a sense of belonging. Each workshop is different in learning and growing together and as individuals.

  Don’t miss out!
