Professional Development Day
Join us for a full day of engaging, in-person professional development created especially for Child Care Centers, Family Child Care providers, and Out of School leaders. Build your schedule your way—choose the sessions that fit your needs, or attend both morning and afternoon sessions to earn from 1.5 up to 4 OA hours. Please note the full day is lunch on your own!
Connect with fellow providers, sharpen your skills, and leave with practical, ready-to-use strategies you can put into action the very next day. This is more than a training—it’s a chance to recharge, learn, and strengthen your program.
