Professional Development Workshops + Training
At the CCRR, we offer dozens of professional development opportunities every year, from fun, interactive workshops to informative and engaging multi-day courses. Working with a long list of experienced facilitators and early learning experts, we strive to cover a broad range of topics. Sessions will highlight emerging trends in the child care field and reinforce core ideas at the heart of early childhood education.
Unless stated otherwise, our training opportunities count towards the 40 hours required for ECE renewal. Participants will receive a certificate of completion stating their hours received.
Training is open to anyone wishing to attend. To register for a workshop, you must first create a CCRR login account. Your account will help to track of training you’ve attended as well as keep records of your registration receipts and certificates. This is service is free, though paid options are available. If you are interested in receiving additional benefits such as discounts on training, consider registering for our Insider Program.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
