Group trainings · In-person & on-site

Live, in-person group trainings for your whole preschool staff

Anna Camille Hampton (Camille) delivers DECAL-approved staff trainings on-site at your school, at a partner venue, or live over Zoom. Sessions run 1 to 8 hours, for groups up to 60 in person across metro Atlanta and the Carolinas (live-online nationwide). You build a quote — format, length, group size — confirm a date, and she facilitates hands-on, theory-to-practice PD. In-person pricing starts at $35 per teacher, with a $280 session minimum and an optional Q&A add-on. CEU certificates are optional.

How it works

How in-person group trainings work, step by step

Camille delivers DECAL-approved staff trainings on-site at your school, at a partner venue, or live over Zoom — from a quote to certificates in four steps.

  1. Build your quote

    Pick your format (on-site, partner venue, or live-online), session length (1–8 hours), and group size. The per-teacher price updates as you go — bigger groups and longer sessions cost less per hour.

  2. Pick a date and confirm

    Choose a date that fits your staff calendar and confirm. A deposit holds a first booking; schools with 3+ bookings can pay by net-30 invoice.

  3. On-site delivery at your school

    Camille facilitates hands-on, theory-to-practice PD at your center, a partner venue, or live over Zoom — chunked content, a wireless mic for the room, and real classroom application.

  4. Certificates issued, resources sent

    Add DECAL CEU certificates (+$5/head) and everyone leaves with hours toward Georgia's annual 10. Follow-up resources land in your inbox afterward.

Durations

From a 1-hour refresher to a full-day in-service

Sessions run anywhere from 1 to 8 hours. Longer sessions cost less per hour — a 3-hour half-staff in-service is the sweet spot at about $80 per teacher ($26.67/hour).

  • 8 hoursFull-day all-staff

Group sizes & pricing

How pricing works — the bigger the group, the lower the price

In-person group trainings start at $35 per teacher for a 1-hour session, with a $280 session minimum. Per-teacher pricing drops as the group grows — about 8% off at 10 attendees, 20% off at 20.

A 3-hour training doesn't cost three times the 1-hour price. Schools pay roughly 2.3× the 1-hour rate for 3 hours, not 3×, following a recognized fairness curve buyers expect. The table below shows in-person per-teacher pricing, with the group discount already baked into each total.

Most-requested add-on

Add extra time for questions — the Q&A block

Yes — you can add a group Q&A block to any training. People almost always want more discussion once a session ends, so present it as a one-tap opt-in on your quote. It extends the live session into shared reflection for your whole team — group reflection, not 1:1 coaching — so everyone leaves with answers grounded in your own classrooms.

+30 min+$8 / heade.g. $160 for 30 minutes at 20 attendees
CEU certificate+$5 / headDECAL CEU certificate add-on

Directors love this line: “At 20 attendees, a +30-minute Q&A adds $160 for 30 minutes — that's $320/hour.” Toggle it on when you build your quote.
