Quality coaches help child care professionals build knowledge and skills, so they can better educate young children.

They inform families about what to look for in a child care program and how to identify quality, so they can make the best choice for their children. See below to contact a quality coach near you!

Central CCR&R provides free training and technical assistance to child care educators across the state to improve the quality of child care for all children.

Technical Assistance

Quality Coaches can assist child care programs to create safe, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate environments for children and provide guidance strategies on behavior management.

Training Workshops

Classes on a variety of topics are scheduled in the evenings, afternoons, and Saturdays. The workshops provide professional development hours. Parents are also invited to attend. Due to the large volume of registrants for each class, there is a registration limit of 5 attendees PER child care agencies per class.
