NAFCC National Conference
Resources for FCC Educators

Hi There! I'm so glad you're here.

Thanks for joining me at NAFCC's National Conferences in: San Francisco (2022), Atlanta (2023), and Saint Louis (2024). I've compiled some resources here for you to explore, whether you were able to join me or not. Newest resources are first.

If you have any trouble finding anything, please reach out to me and the team at frolic@kathrynpara.com!

I believe in Family Child Care as a backbone to our nation and I'm honored to serve you.

Remember, if you need a song or tool, someone else does, too! Reach out so I can pull it out of my ditty bag or create one for you!

NAFCC Resources

Created for You!

NAFCC has been very inspiring for me. Getting to know educators and attendees at the conference, has led to greater understanding for the needs of early childhood educators.

Here I will publish a few resources for you:

LinkTop Five GuideNotes™ Songs

The Transition Cycle™

ECE Songs

Morning Well

All educators are invited to join my Educator and Professional Portal, where we'll share tools, songs and inspirations.

Community Space: Educator Portal

When published, you will can find resources for that here.

There is a blog post about my "Top 5 Guidenotes" coming soon.

I am really excited to get this out to you, in the meantime, please feel free to explore my Ditty Den Library where all of my songs live!
