The Early Care and Education staff at the Partnership are working to help childcare providers refine and improve their programs to meet the developmental needs of children in this age range. We work with all types of programs: licensed, licensed exempt, preschools, nursery schools, childcare centers and family childcare homes and in any place young children are learning and developing while away from their immediate family.
Some of the things the staff at the Partnership do to help child care programs are:
- Provide on-site training for providers--for many we are their only resource
- Program consultation, phone support
- Help with licensing
- Help with accreditation
- Provide a resource room for providers
- Administer a lending library for children’s books
- Conduct group meetings where workers have an opportunity to network, exchange ideas and discuss their challenges and solutions
- Education toy lending program
