Early childhood educators are expected to remain patient, responsive, and emotionally available in environments filled with noise, touch, interruptions, competing needs, and constant decision-making. This two-hour self-paced course helps educators recognize their own stress signals, understand foundational stress-response concepts, distinguish personal stressors from shared and organizational conditions, and choose realistic strategies for regulation and recovery. Participants build an individualized reset menu and a sustainable care plan that includes boundaries, support, and workplace action—not just generic self-care advice.

Upon successful completion of the course, including the required instructor feedback component, learners will receive a certificate to upload to MERIT. Course rosters are submitted to MERIT by the instructor at the end of each month. Please allow 2–3 business days for certificate processing. Need your certificate sooner?
