| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:03:52 pm | For your assignment this week please submit your any changes you've made per their (and my) recommendations and submit that to them by Wednesday this week. |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:04:04 pm | * |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:04:05 pm | * |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:04:15 pm | Then by the 31st please send me your FINAL capstone project |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:04:07 pm | * |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:04:34 pm | If you want to send them to me before the 31st please do so and I'll start marking everyone off |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:04:36 pm | * |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:05:10 pm | I know some of you have holiday plans or traveling so you are planning on completing early |
| Ross, Amber | 07:05:34 pm | I have nothing big, but want to get it turned in early! 🙂 |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:05:50 pm | THEN on Jan 5th 7p we are doing our final demonstrations/presentations to one another during our very last chat together via ZOOM |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:06:06 pm | Amber I totally get it. Then you can just relax |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:06:33 pm | So the final assignment is still the proposal, not the Power point? |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:06:40 pm | For the presentations you'll just do a show and share or talk about your capstone project for 2-3 minut4es |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:06:48 pm | Is it easiest to make a powerpoint or google slides to present? |
| Ross, Amber | 07:07:02 pm | Good question! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:07:13 pm | Final assignment is the proposal and then the presentatin is just a sharing of what you've doe |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:07:47 pm | You can - you can show off your binder (if you created one) of your project - whatever is easiest for you. Each will get 3m so your choice |
| Evans, Casey | 07:07:46 pm | **just got into here!! My daughter has gymnastics, as of last week, every Monday at 7p. So sorry! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:08:39 pm | Wonderful Casey. My daughter took her gymnastics all the way to collegiate level so I understand the gym mom life |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:08:46 pm | What questions do you have |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:08:55 pm | everyoe - not just Casey lol |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:09:12 pm | I don't think I have any |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:09:34 pm | When we are sharing on Zoom - is it expected for us to "share screen" powerpoint style, or just sorta.. talk? |
| Evans, Casey | 07:09:39 pm | It is new for me Brenda! Seems late for a 5 y.o. though! Lol |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:10:09 pm | Good question Heather! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:11:00 pm | Your choice Heather. The point is to tell everyone about the greatness you've been working on and how it will impact our field of EC so I'm not going to hold everyone to the standard of a PP. However, for some the PP is an easier way to get their point accross |
| Roering, Angela | 07:11:02 pm | This is specific to my project - I am creating an online onboarding tool so can I just share the link as my final assignment? |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:11:30 pm | Casey you just wait! 😁 |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:11:50 pm | You could do a show and share Angela while telling us about it |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:12:05 pm | So you could click the link and show u s the intention of it |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:11:58 pm | 2-3 min to present, and how many min for questions? 🙂 |
| Evans, Casey | 07:12:19 pm | Haha Brenda. Thank you for understanding, again! I am getting my thoughts together about questions I may have! |
| Roering, Angela | 07:12:36 pm | How would you like me to turn it in for the December deadline? |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:13:04 pm | Great questions. I think I'll go with the flow Ratiba and move us along as needed. I don't think you'll be 'in the hot seat' for more than 5m each |
| Ross, Amber | 07:13:17 pm | Thank goodness...hahah |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:13:26 pm | I'm just excited to see and chat face to face 😃 |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:13:41 pm | I'll say this - the clearer you are all in your presentation the less questions will come from the cohort 😘 |
| Peralta, Mirla | 07:13:38 pm | Sorry, just logged in! Terrible connection where I’m staying |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:13:52 pm | Me too Toni |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:14:01 pm | Oh good Mirla I'm glad you are here. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:14:24 pm | ok any other questions? |
| Peralta, Mirla | 07:14:22 pm | Thanks, Brenda! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:15:13 pm | ok let's talk about projects * |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:15:06 pm | * |
| Ross, Amber | 07:15:09 pm | * |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:15:13 pm | * |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:15:16 pm | Welcome Mirla and Casey |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:15:16 pm | * |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:15:19 pm | * |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:15:36 pm | Have you shared your capstone with others at your program, what are you hearing? Enthusiasm, fear, apathy? |
| Ross, Amber | 07:15:43 pm | Enthusiasm. clearity! |
| Roering, Angela | 07:16:07 pm | My team seems excited about the update! |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:16:24 pm | Excitement and some uncertainty |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:16:38 pm | I shared my capstone project with our staff, board, families, and my family, and during tours. All said it’s a lovely and nice idea, they showed enthusiasm, excitement, and encouragement. |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:16:37 pm | Enthusiasm... and edits : ) |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:16:50 pm | Awwwwwwwwww |
| Ross, Amber | 07:16:52 pm | clarity, as in everyone will be on the same page. |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:16:53 pm | Mainly enthusiasm! |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:17:07 pm | I have shared with 1 other staff member and we are excited to have things to be easier for the parents. Still have some things to work through. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:17:23 pm | I'm wonderig if the uncertantity is trust or needing clarification or if they are simply overwhelmed and not sure what to think |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:17:16 pm | Enthusiasm, my staff was a little nervous about being interviewed the the marketing video. 🙂 |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:17:33 pm | I have only shared it with my spouse/advisor since the project is about careers beyond my former center, but so far positive feedback... lol |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:17:42 pm | Uncertainty is due to opening a door |
| Peralta, Mirla | 07:17:44 pm | Enthusiasm and lots of support from our current families as well! |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:18:04 pm | For parents to have a little more insight /access to behind the scenes of program |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:18:42 pm | Nicole that's my point. It's nice to get the reactions because it shows them 1. youre working hard on improving the program 2. shows off all you're learning and 3. shows you areas that could be ironed out |
| Evans, Casey | 07:18:37 pm | Those that I have shared with, what my capstone project is and would be, they’ve been very impressed with the thought, as well as cannot help but giggle at the fact that it hasn’t been thought of before or put into motion. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:18:57 pm | Casey love that |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:18:54 pm | Yeah, I only shared with a teacher who I hope to hire as an assistant director. |
| Ross, Amber | 07:19:23 pm | Alyson, exciting! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:19:35 pm | I'll tell you that the sharing you've done is practice for sharing with your cohort on 1/5/26 |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:19:44 pm | Yaaaayyyyyyyyy |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:19:36 pm | Yes Brenda! I am finding out that I have a lot to learn on the digital side of things! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:19:50 pm | Such great news tonight |
| Evans, Casey | 07:20:14 pm | Alyson, I like the thought of pulling a future employee in by sharing a potential project with them- that they could add too in a positive or successful way!! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:20:30 pm | Nicole it's our field. We do well with rainbows and butterflies and relationships. Tech we've had to get better since Covid I feel. Good timing |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:20:57 pm | Ok segway to the next question* |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:20:51 pm | * |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:20:52 pm | * |
| Ross, Amber | 07:20:52 pm | * |
| Roering, Angela | 07:20:53 pm | * |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:20:54 pm | * |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:20:45 pm | * |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:20:59 pm | * |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:21:11 pm | Are there any barriers or challenges that are compromising your project? |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:21:04 pm | * |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:21:18 pm | Leading tours were always one of my favorite hat to wear, so I get the advantage to talk with the families about my dream indoor gym and other remodeling we are planning. |
| Ross, Amber | 07:21:30 pm | Keeping up with updating the information in the future |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:21:33 pm | * |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:21:34 pm | Time! |
| Roering, Angela | 07:21:53 pm | Same Amber! Keeping it updated in the future |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:22:00 pm | Time, I agree with you on that Toni! |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:21:52 pm | Time. I feel silly saying that considering how much time we've been given, but it's something that has quickly been put on the back burner since the holidays. |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:22:29 pm | I wanted to get insight from individuals who have made lateral shifts in the field, or out of, but am having trouble finding these specific people and/or getting them to be able to answers the questions I have. It's really just a time barrier, because of Thanksgiving and other holidays, so I may have to scale back that portion of my deep dive but I think it will be okay! |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:22:43 pm | Writing a director handbook is helpful, but finding a way to share all the confidential login admin work we do is tricky for a sharable document. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:23:07 pm | I've heard from many of you on the time. Here is what I will say... for the capstone project you can only do what you can do in our allotted time BUT you can continue to have a plan to roll out your passion in segments. |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:23:05 pm | There are several potential challenges we faced with adding an indoor gym to our center. While we have strategies in place to address most of these challenges, the most significant obstacle remains the budget. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:23:25 pm | Ratiba great practice |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:24:02 pm | Heather keep doing that every chance you get. It'll help you with valuable insight as you continue to grow as a professional. I still do |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:24:17 pm | Alyson - YE |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:24:10 pm | One barrier I am having is the timeline for completing the marketing video. It is currently being edited by our videographer and may not be done by January 5th. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:24:31 pm | oops lol YES Alyson that's a biggie |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:24:50 pm | Heather .. what are your questions? I may be able to help .. I have made lateral movements as well as external movements and returned to in center directing .. if I can provide any help I'd love to! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:25:09 pm | Then that's ok Kristin - You get to tell us what is in it - what's it about - why - and when you are expect4ed to have it done to implement |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:25:17 pm | Toni - I think I have your email from today's thread! Could I send one over within the week with my questions? |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:25:27 pm | Absolutely! |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:25:30 pm | Brenda-Sounds great, thank you! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:25:40 pm | It's ok to even share with us 1y 5y plans if they are warranted. Or what's to come over the next 6m-1year |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:26:14 pm | Ohhhhh I hear an interview may be happening from within this cohort. you should share emails or phone numbers quick while we move on |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:26:16 pm | Great. I feel like everything I do something at work, I need to add to my capstone to update it. It is a working document for SURE! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:26:46 pm | Yes exactly. These are working documents. Continue to build on them |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:27:01 pm | Then it'll be more meaningful and useful for you and your programs |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:27:07 pm | I did send you all a link to the Facebook group, hopefully this time it worked. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:27:17 pm | the last thing I want is you all creating something that sits on a shelf gathering dust |
| Evans, Casey | 07:27:16 pm | I’ll be honest, I think my newest obstacle when it comes to my project, is that I have decided to leave MMCP. The universe is trying to show me a new vision for my little world I believe! However and working in my favor of course- my children still attend, it’s my family business so all is good and I have all abilities that I had prior as someone that will always support and help the family company. Lol |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:27:28 pm | Thank you Nicole |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:27:29 pm | Like I said the most significant obstacle for my project to start remains the budget. Any ideas !? |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:27:28 pm | Nicole-The link you shared in the email isn't working for me. 🙁 |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:27:34 pm | Nicole - is the group set to private? I don't think the email link worked and that may be why! |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:27:38 pm | Same for me Nicole! |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:27:58 pm | I will try it again or if someone else wants to try that is fin 🙂 |
| Ross, Amber | 07:28:03 pm | Make it not private until we all get in then change it! |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:28:13 pm | ok, I will try that! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:28:40 pm | Casey I've had students before in the same situation. They shared the finished project with thier former group cuz they needed it and then brought it with her to her new adventure. You are doing just that |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:28:34 pm | Yes! Switch to public, resend the link, then change once everyone has joined 🙂 |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:28:54 pm | Ratiba |
| {Hafner, Nancy} | 07:28:48 pm | Hi everyone! joined you a bit late but so interesting to hear your personal "news" and how your projects are progressing! Congratulations to Ratiba and Casey, that is big news! |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:28:55 pm | What is the group called? |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:29:08 pm | First Children's Finance will be your friends for that |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:28:51 pm | It hasn't worked for me, but thank you for making the group Nicole! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:29:27 pm | Hi Nancy!!!!! 😍 |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:29:35 pm | Ok next question * |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:29:31 pm | * |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:29:22 pm | * |
| Ross, Amber | 07:29:34 pm | * |
| Roering, Angela | 07:29:34 pm | * |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:29:35 pm | * |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:29:46 pm | * |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:30:04 pm | What motivates you to complete your capstone project? |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:30:15 pm | MN Directors group 2025 |
| Ross, Amber | 07:30:20 pm | Knowing it will make a diference |
| Ross, Amber | 07:30:23 pm | in my team |
| Roering, Angela | 07:30:34 pm | Time-saving in the future |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:30:39 pm | Collaboration and community (the challenge) |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:30:43 pm | Decreasing enrollment rates. Hopefully with these community events and toolkits, I'm able to get our name out there |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:31:07 pm | I can hear the passion and drive of each of you through your words |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:31:08 pm | It will make a difference and I will be able to save time and use that time connecting with the parents instead of going through all the paperwork. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:31:29 pm | I feel like you understand what an impact you are making |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:31:23 pm | I am motivated to complete my capstone project primarily by character; when I believe in something I am committed and I don’t give up. Additionally, I am driven by the positive impact this project will have on children, staff, and families. The addition of an indoor gym to our child care center represents a meaningful investment in health, wellness, and high-quality care. |
| Evans, Casey | 07:31:29 pm | Knowing how beneficial it will be to the children |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:31:47 pm | Wonderful Ratiba |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:31:39 pm | I am already referencing it for my own work, even though it is not finished. It is really solidifying what needs to happen, when. Who knew I would benefit so much from this tool! |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:31:44 pm | My future! Working on this capstone provides great insight and research for all ECE professionals who may be looking for a change at some point... but it really is forcing me to consider my own potentials and take the time to dive into where I could be in 1, 5, 10 years and what it would take to get there. It also allows me to have pride in the skillset I've already built and acknowledge the broad usage for something I once thought was only useful in a small set of careers. |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:31:56 pm | Rebranding and applying all I have learned through this cohort! |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:31:56 pm | Ratiba, movement is so important. Thanks for not giving up! |
| Evans, Casey | 07:32:09 pm | Staff and whole families, along with the community families that are not a part of MMCP |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:32:24 pm | What is cool too is that going forward you won't be afraid to think outside of the box, be creative, and figure out something that will improve programs for our childrlen |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:32:49 pm | Kristin yes we've learned so much from one another haven't we |
| Ross, Amber | 07:32:53 pm | It's been amazing! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:33:05 pm | ok bonus question* |
| Ross, Amber | 07:32:59 pm | * |

| Yoswa, Toni | 07:33:07 pm | * |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:33:10 pm | * |
| {Hafner, Nancy} | 07:33:16 pm | There are many supplemental benefits for taking on a project like this, and you are building a skill set you can use for other endeavors in the future! |
| Evans, Casey | 07:33:16 pm | * |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:33:21 pm | * |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:33:45 pm | What's been the hardest part about doing/completing your project? |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:33:54 pm | for the entire project |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:34:00 pm | Nancy, yes! |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:34:01 pm | * |
| Ross, Amber | 07:34:27 pm | I keep moving things to try to make them "better" |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:34:39 pm | Nancy yes exactly |
| Yoswa, Toni | 07:34:43 pm | Dedicating time, outlining what I want to accomplish with the project |
| Ascheman, Rosalie | 07:34:42 pm | My perfectionism to make everything just right and time dedication |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:35:05 pm | Amber that's a good thing. It feels undecisive but you are focusing on excellence |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:35:05 pm | Starting it was easy for me. Ideas and bulletpoints went quick. The more in depth I go the harder it is to make time and sit down to /do/ it all |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:35:21 pm | Toni this is good too - you are focusing on details that are important |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:35:17 pm | Time and getting it all approved and started. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:35:35 pm | Rosalie I love it. striving for excellence |
| Evans, Casey | 07:35:56 pm | I think just time management and getting it into writing for the assignments to be honest. I don’t know if it is because I am so used to task after task after task and not necessarily writing down what I’m doing or why I’m doing it unless asked, therefore, I have to remind myself that I am supposed to do that for a particular assignment. If that makes sense, |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:36:08 pm | Heather sometimes it gets bigger and bigger doesn't it. It takes time to sit down and iron out those details to make it all work and make sense |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:36:05 pm | Heather, I agree.. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:36:26 pm | Nicole I had a feeling someone would say time. It's a biggie |
| Roering, Angela | 07:36:23 pm | The hardest part was making sure our documents were updated, accessible, without appearing overwhelming for the new employee. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:36:41 pm | Makes sense Angela |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:36:55 pm | That makes sense to me Casey |
| Brank, Nicole | 07:36:47 pm | Angela I agree with you on that one! |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:37:18 pm | I love that you can all see how you are in a similar boat |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:37:30 pm | you are not alone in your thoughts swirling in your head |
| Ross, Amber | 07:37:25 pm | It is reassuring everyone is feeling the same! |

| Peralta, Mirla | 07:37:49 pm | * |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:37:59 pm | In the beginning of the project, it was hard for me to choose one topic from the 4 topics I saw they were all needed for my center. now almost done with completing this project, I can see that the budget will be the hardest. |
| Roering, Angela | 07:37:59 pm | * |
| Notch, Kristin | 07:38:01 pm | * |

| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:39:30 pm | Take a moment to select another student to connect with and share your work with thus far, gaining another perspective/lens to gather more insight and feedback. |
| Peralta, Mirla | 07:39:26 pm | * |
| Maameri, Ratiba | 07:39:28 pm | Not Yet !, looks like he wants to stay warm |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:39:36 pm | some of you did this already |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:40:06 pm | Ratiba you see the personality of the baby through the birth we say in our family |
| Evans, Casey | 07:40:25 pm | *I still need some information and responses from the person who’s involved from the library. If I do not get such answers and/or responses— can I write as if they are the answers that are ideal? |
| Quinn, Alyson | 07:40:27 pm | Anyone need a buddy? I have a messy director's handbook to share, and am happy to support. |
| {Lowe, Brenda} | 07:40:37 pm | So I'm giving you some time to talk amongst yourself, share contact info, ask something that you need from one another |
| Kirchoff, Heather | 07:40:37 pm | I gotta steal Toni for mine! |
| Ross, Amber | 07:40:42 pm | Alyson I will! |
