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!

These workshops typically offer two hours of training that have been approved by the Tennessee DHS.
