Assisting child care providers with their professional development and enhancing the overall quality of early care and education programs.

Research indicates that the quality of care a child receives is directly related to the education and training of his/her provider. Child Care Connection provides multiple training and educational opportunities to individual providers and programs. We provide both on-site and classroom based trainings, to enrich early care and education experiences for children and families. Recognizing the complexity of issues involved in Early Childhood Education, Child Care Connection is committed to working with individuals, centers and homes to improve the overall quality of their services by:

• Educating professionals about child development and early childhood education through CCC Training which counts towards licensing hours, CDA credits, or college credit
