I’ve learned that in order to effectively work with children and families, you have to start at the very beginning. And that’s infancy and early childhood. However, through my studies I’ve found that there isn’t just one place that compiles all the valuable information on how to support children in their first years of life.
That’s why I developed this course so you can get access to a fully developed, comprehensive training that shows you exactly how to support children from the very start and how to work with the families that support and love them.
This course is beneficial for anybody who works with children and families. If you’re an early childhood provider, a school teacher, or in a pre-K program, you will find this training incredibly supportive and filled with a lot of real world examples.
