Helen Ober
Founder of Centers of Excellence™
Centers of Excellence™
As a Professional Development Trainer for over 8 years, I’ve seen firsthand how often Directors feel overwhelmed, isolated, and unsupported. Staff shortages strain morale. Teachers are burned out, unsure how to support children with escalating behavior challenges. Again and again I heard the same thing:
We wish families could get this training too- so what we teach here isn’t undone at home.
That’s why we created the Centers of Excellence™ as a comprehensive, 360 degree training solution for your entire center. No more patchwork workshops. No more temporary fixes.
This program brings teachers, directors, and families together with a unified approach that builds connection, resilience, and emotional health- at school and at home.
You’ll create:
- A more confident, capable teaching team
- Stronger family partnerships
- Happier, more emotionally secure children

"A teacher who has been known to have a negative attitude reported to me after the Growth Mindset training: "It hit me today when I heard Helen describing a fixed mindset and how it can hold you back. I have a fixed mindset, and I am going to change that." His attitude now is positive, engaging and enthused."
"Thank you for the Family Engagement Workshop you gave last night - Back to School Survival Guide. I instantly felt connected to you and trusted your recommendations. I have seen positive results already in the behavior of my children."
"Outstanding, relevant, and engaging training! The knowledge we are applying is positively impacting our classroom."
