Discover how hands-on, relationship-centered professional learning builds confident educators and thriving classrooms with Brittany Kay.


What if professional learning felt as meaningful and engaging as the learning we hope to create for children?

In this episode of The Heartfelt Way, host Rhonda Meyers is joined by Brittany Kay, Director of Program Quality at Heartfelt Impressions, for a thoughtful conversation about the power of intentional professional development. Brittany shares her journey from aspiring elementary teacher to leading a multi-year vision to certify all Heartfelt classrooms in the HighScope curriculum.

The conversation centers on a simple but transformative idea: learning works best when it’s inch wide and mile deep. Brittany reflects on her own experiences with professional development—both disconnected and deeply impactful—and explains how Heartfelt reimagined learning for educators through small cohorts, hands-on practice and trust-based reflection.

Rather than one-size-fits-all training, teachers move through multi-year learning levels together, experimenting, reflecting and even recording themselves to grow their practice. The result isn’t just stronger curriculum implementation—it’s increased confidence, stronger relationships and classrooms where children know routines, feel secure and stay deeply engaged.

This episode is an invitation to rethink professional learning, not as another obligation, but as a culture shift. Whether you’re an educator, leader or parent curious about what quality truly looks like behind the scenes, this conversation offers reassurance, inspiration and a reminder that growth takes time, trust and heart.
