CCR&R believes that the quality of child care is a direct reflection of the knowledge and skill of the care provider. Care providers who understand early development and good practices are better able to provide children with the experiences they need to learn and grow in healthy ways. There is no question that positive experiences in the early years lead to better outcomes for children - quality child care matters and the education of the care provider is directly correlated to child care quality.
Because direct care providers are the main audience for CCR&R training, the CCR&R Training Division has a responsibility to focus its training on the practical application of sound early childhood principles and the demonstrated caregiver competencies proven to lead to healthy outcomes for children. CCR&R seeks to be a “change agent” for early childhood practices in all settings caring for young children, promoting those practices that meet the needs of developing children and their families. While meeting the needs of children through improved caregiver practices in the primary focus of CCR&R training, CCR&R also recognizes its responsibility to provide training and education that encourages continued learning and growth of individuals in the field, and that leads to ongoing professional development of direct care providers.
CCR&R training is standardized across our service area through a system of training delivery, curriculum content, and quality training/trainer standards. Objectives of the CCR&R Training Division include:
To present top-quality, dynamic training that reflects the most current knowledge of best practices in the field of early childhood and child development
To deliver training that leads to nationally recognized early childhood credentials and accreditation, and that support ongoing professional development
To represent the highest standard of early care and education
To focus on practices that lead to positive outcomes for children
To develop and support outstanding trainers
