About the Early Education Director Fellowship
Our Approach

The Early Education Collaborative Workshop series provides content rich in lessons in instructional leadership so that participants, their centers and schools flourish. The workshops aspire to move us as a central Indiana community towards our collective goal for children ages 0-5 to experience a strong and healthy transition to Kindergarten and beyond.

In 2024-2025, with the hopes of broadening reach, EEDF will continue its Collaborative Workshop series open to all central Indiana early childhood educators.

Workshops will be held at The Oaks Academy, Martindale-Brightwood Campus in Indianapolis, IN, as well as other early childhood centers and organizations in Indianapolis, all with the hope of inspiring and renewing us in the work that represents the mission of our hearts. We hope you’ll join us.
