The Connected Classroom Annual Conference

Let us come to you!

The Connected Classroom Annual Conference is a hands-on professional learning experience designed for educators, child professionals, school leaders, and organizations committed to strengthening the emotional well-being of both children and the adults who support them.

Grounded in Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT), attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and current research in child development, the conference provides practical strategies that can be immediately integrated into classrooms and childcare environments.

Participants will learn how to:

• Support children through big emotions and provide meaningful opportunities for healthy emotional expression.

• Build connection and emotional safety as a foundation for learning, engagement, and positive relationships.

• Use co-regulation strategies to help children manage stress and create calmer, more connected classrooms.

• Understand and respond to behaviour with greater confidence, compassion, and curiosity.

• Support the “silent witnesses”—children who experience the impact of a classroom crisis but may not be directly involved and are often overlooked in traditional safety planning.

• Strengthen educator self-regulation and well-being through practical, science-informed strategies that help staff manage their own nervous systems during challenging moments.

• Create consistency across classrooms by developing a shared language and common approach to connection, regulation, and behaviour.

Supporting the Adults Who Support Children

We know that creating connected classrooms starts with supporting the educators within them. The conference recognizes the emotional demands of working with children and provides educators with tools to care for their own well-being while remaining a safe, steady, and responsive presence for their students.

A Meaningful Investment in Your Team

When educators have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand what is underneath a child's behaviour, they are better equipped to respond effectively—and children are better positioned to learn, connect, and thrive.

The Connected Classroom Annual Conference gives organizations an opportunity to invest in their staff, strengthen classroom practices, and build a shared, relationship-based approach that can positively impact the entire school or childcare community.

Join us for an engaging and practical professional learning experience that puts connection at the heart of the classroom.
