Professional Development
The Coalition Program Staff is dedicated to furthering the quality of child care through specialized technical assistance and training to meet each provider’s needs. Continuing education opportunities are offered to increase the knowledge and skills of the child care staff and meet the increasing demands of state requirements.
Developmental Screening and Assessment
The Coalition Program Staff trains child care providers on required screening and assessment instruments and oversees the process. The Coalition ensures that child care providers receive the appropriate materials and equipment and ongoing technical assistance is provided, as needed.
Environmental Assessments
The Coalition Program Staff provides training and technical support on the Environmental Rating Scales as a measurement of a program’s quality. These program assessments are administered prior to a child care provider receiving School Readiness children.
Quality Initiatives
The Coalition, as funding allows, offers Quality Initiatives including educational funding for child care providers and their staff, and funding for attendees of the Treasure Coast Children’s Conference.
