The Nurtured Heart Approach is used in a variety of settings and can be utilized by childcare providers. The essence of the Approach is a set of core methodologies originally developed for working with the most difficult children.  It has a proven impact on every child\, including those who are challenged behaviorally\, socially\, and academically. The Nurtured Heart Approach provides steps toward shifting negative behavior and inspiring thriving relationships\, not only with the children you care for but with all the people in your life. \nTrainer: Marquita Myles\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free URL:https://www.four-c.org/event/transforming-the-difficult-child/ LOCATION:Online Webinar CATEGORIES:Online Training/Live Webinar,Social/Emotional ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.four-c.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/CreativeCurriculum_Preschool.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240224T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240224T123000 DTSTAMP:20260421T060247 CREATED:20231227T144947Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T144947Z UID:10000167-1708763400-1708777800@www.four-c.org SUMMARY:American Heart Association Heartsaver Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED (expires in 2 years) DESCRIPTION:American Heart Association Heartsaver Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED course teaches child care providers critical skills and knowledge needed to respond to and manage illnesses and injuries in a child or infant in the first minutes until emergency services arrives. \nTrainer: Annie Johnson\, Assistant Director\, The Growing Place \nAudience: All Providers \n4 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFree Training URL:https://www.four-c.org/event/american-heart-association-heartsaver-pediatric-cpr-first-aid-aed-expires-in-2-years-43/ LOCATION:McHenry County Mental Health Board\, Crystal Lake\, IL CATEGORIES:CCAP Orientation Requirement,CCAP Training Requirements,CPR and First Aid,McHenry County ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.four-c.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fotolia_81538858_Subscription_XXL-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240222T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240222T210000 DTSTAMP:20260421T060247 CREATED:20231030T170820Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231030T170830Z UID:10000153-1708624800-1708635600@www.four-c.org SUMMARY:Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC): Module 2: Group Care DESCRIPTION:Group care introduces special considerations in caring for infants and toddlers and six program policies that support the development of emotionally secure relationships and mental health in the group care setting.

But many of the first steps for a new hire in the field are met with paperwork\, setting up training accounts\, understanding safe systems\, etc. Also\, many managers are stretched so thin that their time for hands-on help with these tasks is limited. This training will assist both the new staff and managers in completing parts of this onboarding process. Participants will learn about Gateways\, the why and how\, and actually walk through the process of setting up and account/learning how to use it to manage professional development requirements. We will look at scholarship assistance through Gateways and ECACE as well as review required trainings and how to self-report then. Finally\, we will review the supports available through 4-C. \nTrainer: Maggie Fern\, 4-C Recruitment\, Retention\, Referral and Outreach Specialist \nAudience: All Providers\, including those who are new to the ECE field \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free URL:https://www.four-c.org/event/the-new-professionals-quick-start-guide-to-the-ccrr-system-3/ LOCATION:Online Webinar CATEGORIES:Online Training/Live Webinar,Staff Development/Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.four-c.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/provider_girl_coloring.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240208T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240208T193000 DTSTAMP:20260421T060247 CREATED:20231227T144945Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T144945Z UID:10000173-1707415200-1707420600@www.four-c.org SUMMARY:Supporting LGBTQ+ Young People DESCRIPTION:This training will support an introductory understanding of various gender and sexual identities for young people whose identity development includes connection to LGBTQ+ identities. The training will be both informative and conversational\, and will make room to challenge outdated or problematic understandings of gender and sexuality. The goal is to increase individual capacity for understanding identity in service of being able to better support LGBTQ+ young people in your care. The expectation is that being affirming of LGBTQ+ youth leads to greater support and care for LGBTQ+ young people\, and models important community wellbeing behaviors for youth of all genders and sexualities. \nTrainer: Erin Tinnon\, MSW\, LCSW \nAudience: All Providers \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Intermediate \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free URL:https://www.four-c.org/event/supporting-lgbtq-young-people/ LOCATION:Online Webinar CATEGORIES:Online Training/Live Webinar,Social/Emotional,Staff Development/Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.four-c.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fotolia_80679127_Subscription_XXL-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240207T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240207T200000 DTSTAMP:20260421T060247 CREATED:20231227T144947Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T144947Z UID:10000168-1707330600-1707336000@www.four-c.org SUMMARY:Taxes and Recordkeeping for Family Child Care DESCRIPTION:Does keeping up with current tax laws as it relates to self-employed business practices seem overwhelming?

It influences the way children handle emotions\, regulate behavior\, feel around new people\, and adapt to new situations. You can nurture a child’s development by using strategies that suit their temperaments.  Nevertheless\, the behavioral adjustment of young children depends a lot upon the interaction between their temperament and yours and how others respond to them – how comfortably they fit within their environment and the people around them. We will explore children’s temperament and how to respond. \nTrainer: Marquita Myles\, 4-C Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant \nAudience: All Providers \n1.5 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Introductory \nFee: \nNon 4-C Members: $10 \n4-C Members: Free URL:https://www.four-c.org/event/understanding-childrens-temperament/ CATEGORIES:Online Training/Live Webinar,Social/Emotional ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.four-c.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/toddler-photo.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240125T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240125T203000 DTSTAMP:20260421T060247 CREATED:20231127T165136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231127T165224Z UID:10000164-1706207400-1706214600@www.four-c.org SUMMARY:Big Changes\, Big Emotions\, Big Behaviors DESCRIPTION:Early childhood educators are experiencing changes and reflecting on child behavior since COVID.
