Testimonials
The very next day after your workshop, my teachers are using the strategies and I see a difference. Thank you. - Director
I look forward to Ms. Gloria. She makes training practical, realistic and interesting with her childcare stories! - Teacher
To say I love to stay at work after hours for a training class would be silly. However, I am so grateful and thankful that we stumbled upon a woman of God years ago to come in and teach us God's love through her trainings, no matter the subject. God stays the center. It’s not every day that you hear God's Word through someone but it’s a guaranteed fact that you’ll get it from this lady!
I do my best to be the light and give positivity to my peers but there’s days I fall short. She’s an inspiration to me to keep pushing and I pray I continue to create and build strong relationships with my team. Thank you, Gloria Mansfield, for being who you are. I am truly grateful and honored to be in your presence! - Director

Every child deserves to feel seen and valued. Yet even the most caring teachers can hold unconscious biases that shape how they interact with children.

Together, we’ll explore how culture, experiences, and personal perspectives influence the way we teach and connect. Through real-life examples, open conversation, and hands-on activities, participants will discover practical ways to bring more fairness, empathy, and inclusion into their daily teaching.
