Description
Child care is a fact of life for many American families. The number of children cared for daily by someone
other than their parents has skyrocketed as more parents have joined the paid work force.
As the number of children in care increases, there is growing concern about the availability of
quality child care. As one of the few meeting places for parents of young children, early childhood settings also offer
a unique opportunity to reach out to and support parents during one of the most crucial periods of their lives.
It is also important to remember that child care professionals need support as well. It is very easy to get wrapped up in your work caring for others and forget about your own professional needs. In this course, we will discuss how to access various resources for children and families as well as child care professionals.
This course will be divided into two parts:
- Part 1 - Accessing Resources for Children and Families
- Part 2 - Accessing Resources for ECE Professionals
Not all courses are approved for early care and education in every state. Please check State and CEU Approvals page for details.
