Live Session Series for Early Childhood Educators
Observation notes. Family newsletters. Lesson plans. Incident reports. The work that piles up after the kids go home is the work that burns educators out. AI can help with that. Let me show you how.
Led by Chris Danilo. No experience with AI required.
The classroom part is why you do this. The other 20 hours a week? The writing, the documenting, the communicating. That's the part that's unsustainable. AI can take real chunks of that off your plate. But nobody's shown you how it works in your world, with your problems.
Observation notes, developmental summaries, progress reports. Every child, every day. The writing never ends.
Newsletters, daily reports, sensitive conversations, translation for multilingual families. All on top of everything else.
Lesson plans, curriculum alignment, staff meeting agendas, licensing paperwork. The behind-the-scenes work that keeps the program running.
No prior AI experience. No software to install. Just show up on Zoom and watch me use AI to do the things that eat your time, then ask every question on your mind. When you're ready, we build something together in real time.
Short enough to fit into your life. Virtual on Zoom so you can join from anywhere: couch, classroom, car pickup line.
The best sessions start with what's actually on your plate. Bring the thing you're stuck on and we'll see what AI can do with it.
If you've never used AI, that's the point. I'll walk through everything step by step. No tech background needed.
The Format
I share my screen and use AI to do real ECE work: writing observation notes, drafting a parent newsletter, building a lesson plan from a theme idea. You see the prompts, the output, the edits. No slides. No theory. Just the thing working.
Every question is a good question. "Can it do ___?" "What about when ___?" "How would I use this for ___?" We work through your real scenarios together. If something breaks, that's useful too. You learn where the edges are.
We pick a task from the group, something you'd normally spend an hour on after work, and build it together using AI, live. You leave with something you made, not just something you watched.
What You Walk Away With
After each session, you get a summary of what we built, the exact prompts we used, and step-by-step instructions so you can do it again on your own time.
Every session is recorded. If you miss one, you can catch up. If you loved one, you can rewatch the part where it clicked. No pressure to attend live every time.
Each session is designed so you leave with a finished thing: a newsletter draft, a set of observation notes, a lesson plan. Work you would have done anyway, done faster.
If you work in early childhood education as a lead teacher, assistant teacher, family child care provider, director, coach, or anyone doing the daily work of caring for young children, this is for you.
You don't need to know anything about AI. You don't need to be "good with technology." You just need to be curious about whether there's a faster way to get through the documentation, communication, and planning that follows you home every day.
If you've ever thought "there has to be a better way to do this" while staring at a blank observation form at 9 PM, this session is the answer to that thought.
The AI Kitchen for ECE is launching soon with a small group. Drop your email and I'll let you know when the first session is scheduled. Free to attend. Zero prep required.
You're on the list. I'll be in touch when the first session is set.
