Intended Audience: FCCB workshops are intended for licensed and license-exempt child care providers, family, friend, and neighbor providers, and other providers who care for children in mixed-age groups. Workshop content is centered on children ages birth - five, in home care settings. Workshops do not fulfill pre-licensure requirements and provide ECE units.

Training Description:

Participants will take a preventative approach to challenging behavior and plan activities that promote pro-social skills. Participants will learn specific strategies, using the environment and adult-child interaction, to facilitate friendship and build community. Topics include: social-emotional guidance, the use of social stories, California’s Preschool Learning Foundations, and building a sense of self. The Center for Excellence in Child Development supports a holistic approach to preparing children for school, recognizing that young children learn through play and through relationships with caring adults. The School Readiness series blends research-based knowledge with the teaching skills needed to guide young learners.
