Back to School Time!

Our August theme is about transition from home to school. This article from NAEYC has great information about how to help parents, teachers, and children ease their way back into the schedule or school or child care. Check it out here.

We are doing in-person trainings and technical assistance. Please contact your R&R Specialist if you need training or technical assistance in your program. We also have a great Infant Toddler Specialist that can come help with issues in your Infant, Toddler, or Two’s classrooms.

Your R&R Specialists would like to remind everyone of free trainings on CECPD. Please go to okregistry.org to find the Statewide Calendar. This calendar has all available trainings in the state of Oklahoma. Find the drop-down tab labeled “Training Fee” to select free to find trainings that are free to attend. The Pyramid Model Modules are available for free and can be a total of 18 hours for training. If you are having trouble finding the online courses for the Pyramid Model, please contact Kristine Abbott at 918-397-3007 or kabbott@delawarechild.org. CECPDonline has 5 new free courses that are available to all providers. To sign up, go to cecpdonline.org and find the link to free trainings on the home page. A reminder: Your registry log in will be different from cecpdonline.org. If you have not done training on this site, you will need to register for a new account.

All resource kits are available for check out. If you are interested in borrowing a kit, please contact your R&R Specialist. Resource kits are cleaned and sanitized when they come back to us from other providers. We want to ensure that our providers and children are protected against viruses and germs.
