Instructor Credentials

Jillian Best Adler has built her career on the belief that infants and young children are best served when they have healthy attachments with parents and educators who are knowledgeable, confident, and well supported. As a coach and trainer, she uses a strengths-based, non-judgmental approach to help caregivers feel better equipped to understand and respond to children.
As a Senior Early Learning Specialist with First Up: Champions for Early Education, Jillian provides technical assistance coaching and professional development training to early childhood professionals in child care centers and preschools throughout the Philadelphia region. Since 2015, Jillian’s trainings have focused on providing early childhood professionals with opportunities to engage more deeply with topics of bias, racism, equity, and justice.
