All About Us
For Trainers
This section is for individuals that provide training to early care & education practitioners (center caregivers and family child care providers).

The Project is developing a statewide trainer database to assist in the location of potential trainers. The database will contain information that will allow individuals to find a trainer who meets their criteria. This organization and website will not contract, refer, nor arrange payment for trainers.

The trainers listed in this database will be considered "Approved Trainers", meaning they have met trainer standards and have provided objectives and adult learning strategies for a specific core competency area.

In order to be listed in this database, trainers will need to submit an application that will highlight their education and training experience. The trainer will also need to submit written materials identifying which core competency area they are seeking approval and outlining training objectives and adult learning strategies. Members of a Training Approval Board will review the applications and training objectives and assign the trainer a specific trainer level. Trainers will be able to receive "Approval" to train in more than one core competency area. The application process will only be completed once.

Statewide Trainer Database

The database will be searchable by:
Name
Area they are willing to train in (counties they are willing to train in)
Their trainer level (determined by the Trainer Approval Board)
Competency areas they are approved to provide training
Training experience specific to practitioner/child population
(ex. for practitioners working with infants 6 wks to 12 months, children with special needs)
Level of training they can provide (beginning, advanced, etc)
Languages spoken
