SUMMARY:The New Professional's Quick Start Guide to the CCR&R System
DESCRIPTION:Most new early childhood professionals came to their job because they like children and they want to have an impact with their development. 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

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. An overview of the content of Module 2 explores the ideas of primary care\, well-designed learning environments\, positive impact of responsive caregiving routines\, and individualized care on the well-being and development of children birth to age three. Attention is also given to how the policies of primary care\, small groups\, continuity of care\, culturally responsive care\, and inclusive care of children with special needs prove the foundation for high quality infant/toddler care. At the end of this module\, participants will have the tools to use primary care in their home or classroom\, make engaging environments\, assist children in daily routines\, and individualize care for all children. **This is a hybrid training and participants must complete the face to face session and online assessment to receive credit.** \nTrainer: Stephanie Bentley\, Joyful Insights\, Child Development Consultation & Trainings \nAudience: All Providers Caring For Infants\, Toddlers & Twos \n8 Training Hours; Level of Learning: Intermediate \nFree Training
