The #1 most common question we get:
Do you offer professional development hours?
Yes. Our director trainings and teacher trainings are all eligible for PD hours. We provide you and your team with certificates of completion.
If you purchase a staff meeting training, you will receive certificates of completion for all of your teachers who attend, plus you as the facilitator.
For example, if you have 9 teachers in your program, plus yourself, and you facilitate a 2-hour staff meeting training, you would pay $95 for a single training and get 20 hours of professional development (2 hours per person), at a cost of ~$5 per hour per person.
Programs find this to be a very affordable way to reach their professional development hour requirements.

Success stories from real directors
Don’t just take our word for it—here’s how Rooted has helped directors transform their programs and their teams.
“Before working with Rooted, I was completely burnt out and seriously considering closing my program. Over the past few months, they’ve helped me put systems in place for supervising staff, planning ahead, and managing the business side of my center—things I never thought I’d feel confident in. Now I feel motivated, supported, and excited to keep growing as a director. They have reconnected me with my purpose.”
— Catherine, Program Director & Owner
“Rooted helped us completely transform our program. I went from drowning in paperwork to having clear systems that actually give me time to plan and support my staff. Our teachers are happier and I finally feel like I can run this program confidently.”
— Michelle, Program Director

FAQs
Are your trainings compatible with different educational philosophies?
Yes. Whether you’re Montessori, Waldorf, Nature based, Reggio, or anything else, we’ve designed our trainings and resources in way that honors the differences in program’s educational philosophies and still gives leaders and teachers practical strategies and tools they can implement right away.
What makes you different than other training organizations?
Rooted Development is the only early childhood service focused on facilitating program transformation. We take a systems approach to solving the most challenging problems that leaders and teachers face, using real tools, expert coaching, and proven practices developed in some of the most successful early childhood programs in the country.
What are 'staff meeting trainings' and what do they include?
Our video linked here explains this best.
But in short, our turnkey 'staff meeting trainings' are designed to build teacher knowledge, skills and collaboration.
These trainings are designed to be delivered during a 90-120 minute staff meeting and position you (the director) as the facilitator of your teacher's growth.
They include instructional videos, teacher handouts, and place an emphasis on engaging, discussion-based activities. Our format helps teachers immediately put their new knowledge into practice, and creates a training experience that keeps teachers engaged and coming back for more.
They also include educational parent resources, which can be provided to parents after the training is complete to reinforce similar strategies at home.
What is RootedAI? I’m skeptical of AI and not sure I can trust it.
We know that directors are busy, which is why we created an AI chatbot that’s available 24/7 whenever you need help. RootedAI is your personal coach, it’s like having one of our founders in your pocket.
We were skeptical about AI, too. Which is why RootedAI is only trained on approved resources created by our team.
The chatbot is trained on both on our approach to leadership development and teacher development.
You can ask it just about anything:
“I have a teacher who is refusing to follow our program policy around [insert program policy], despite multiple warnings. What should I do?”
“I have a a child in one of my classrooms who turned 3 last month. He isn’t talking at school, and his parents keep canceling our appointments and clearly do not want to hear that something may be wrong with him. He keeps acting out at school and the teacher is clearly burning out on his behavioral challenges. How should I approach the family? What can we do for the child?”
RootedAI is only available as part of our Leadership Development Membership.
How do I sign up for a Rooted Membership?
Schedule a free 30-minute consultation with our founders. During your consultation, we will learn more about you and your program to help you figure out where to start. Once you are ready, we will get your set up on our platform (same day) and walk you through how to use it.
Why aren’t your leadership trainings available for individual purchase?
Our team invests significantly time upfront in the programs that we support via our Leadership Development Membership (e.g., full program assessments), and therefore we require a minimum one year commitment.
Our leadership development trainings form a cohesive approach, so that the practices you implement across your program (e.g., teacher supervision, hiring, financial management, etc.) all work in harmony to create ‘synergy’ within your program.
Therefore, we find programs get significantly better results when they have unlimited access to all of these trainings + our 24/7 coach (RootedAI), which is trained on all of our content.
Our ultimate goal is 'program transformation' - we believe that one year is the minimum amount of time necessary to achieve long-term change and impact.
Do you offer pricing for multiple location programs?
Yes. If you schedule time with our team and we will walk you through some options.
Unsure where to start?
Every program is different. We’ll ask thoughtful questions about what’s happening your program and help you think through which trainings or tools will be most helpful.
