Quality Activities for Infant and Toddler Care Monitoring

Quality Activities for Infants & Toddler Care

The Coalition has completed a community needs assessment that included the identification of provider needs related to infant/toddler care and services. Those results were then used to plan available trainings at the IECP for the enhancement of infant and toddler care in our local community.

As a result of the assessment, these are the trainings offered and included in the ELCHC Training Bulletin, specifically for those working with infants and toddlers with the intent to improve infant/toddler care in our community: • Infant and Toddler Child Development The Total Package • Making the Most of Classroom Interactions for Infants and Toddlers • Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers & Twos

A plan of action has been initiated to establish a local Infant/Toddler Network comprised of representatives from local agencies serving Infants and toddlers. The local network will focus on a collaborative approach to address the needs of families and providers serving infants and toddlers through networking and community outreach. The network will also address the need for an increase in early childhood programs who provide infant and toddler care in the county.
