Professional Development

The CCR&R offers assistance to promote increased education to early child care professionals. Assistance is given in professional development planning as well as a textbook lending library for child care providers in Early Childhood Education coursework.

Provider Training

Research shows that training is the key to providing care and education and that is what is best for young children. Training that makes a difference, however, cannot be just any training. Quality training is delivered by trainers who understand children, the business of child care, and use resources that reflect current early childhood research. At the CCR&R, our goal is to bring such trainings to you. To view our trainings go to the calendar.
