Acorn Education - Website Updated

10/24/2020

2 Comments

 
With the pandemic continuing, I felt it was time to update our website so you can find the training that you need, when you need it.  We have simplified our page and hope you will find it easier to find what you are looking for.

The virtual options are available in two ways.  We do live virtual sessions as well as self-paced options that you can take on your own no matter the time or date.  You will find the options on our main page and you will hopefully find our website easier to navigate.  Go take a peek then please come back and share your thoughts.  Also be sure to tell a friend or two about our page and training.

Remember that we are also available for special development days, private events, or professional development days.  While we are virtual, you can bring your staff together in your setting or safe from each of their own spaces.  Call today to book a session for your group.

Here is wishing everyone a blessed holiday season no matter how you celebrate.  Acorn Education is wishing everyone lots of special time with family and friends and hopefully some time to relax.

If you should find yourself sitting around with some down time, please stop by our newly updated web page and let us know what you think.  We are hoping that you find it much easier to navigate.

As we near the end of 2018 I wanted to send best wishes for 2019.  May it be a year of growth in your professional development and may you reap the benefits of your education as you fulfill actions as a result of your training.

Best,
Kim Woehl - Acorn Education and Consulting.

On This Snow Filled Day...

Today, I sit in front of my computer pondering the next course that would be interesting for all of you.  I have wanted to write a course to support those little bullies so that they too can be successful within our programs.  I think I may start there.  This being said, I am always interested to hear what you want to learn about.  What engages your brain and gets you excited about the work you do with children?  If you can't find it hear on our website, please reach out and plant a seed with me so that I might sit down one day soon and write a course that will best support what you need in your early learning environment.

Two surgeries down.  I am feeling great.  Tomorrow I meet with the oncologist to determine our next steps in combatting this breast cancer.  I am back to work for now and in fact, will be at Think Small in St. Paul tonight.  Thank you again for all of your support as I move through this process.  It is no doubt that your positive thoughts are making a world of difference.  Thank you for your support on my journey.  I am blessed to have each of you.

Catching Up!

I am blessed to have so many followers who check in often to see what new training opportunities we have available.  Today, I wanted to write about something a bit different.  My journey has taken a bit of an off road approach.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer on December 28th and have surgery once so far and will be headed back on the 29th of January.  Many of you have supported me through email, phone calls, text messages, prayers on Facebook etc.  I feel greatly blessed to have you all along for my journey.  This week is filled with lots of catch up as after surgery, I will be resting and mending.  I hope to keep you all updated through social media.  You never know where your own personal journey will take you and of course you don't know which path your little ones will take, but I have learned that support is important and that there are many out there that will support us.  Thank you again for each of you and all that you do!  Feeling Blessed.
