Professional Development
One of the key components to creating and maintaining a quality child care program is providing early childhood teachers with the support, education, and resources needed to be successful in the classroom. The ELC provides a variety of professional development opportunities and support services to early childhood teachers. Our goal is to promote school readiness and improve the learning outcomes of young children by providing high-quality, up-to-date professional development. These opportunities improve the knowledge and skills of early childhood educators and caregivers.
