Description Contact Us
There
are very specific areas of knowledge that each Birth to 3 professional
must possess in order to work successfully with children and families.
Many times these skills are not taught within a degreed program
and must be learned on the job through mentorship or through continuing
education, training and technical assistance.
This professional development section will help you look at your
role in Birth to 3 and how it fits within the overall continuing
education requirements for your area of expertise. We have attempted
to provide a guide that can enhance both your day-to-day interactions
with families in Birth to 3 as well as your entire career.
