This professional development offers a relationship-based approach to growth as a teacher in the field. One of our instructors will begin with baseline PD, will then come into your classroom to do a focused observation, provide coaching, deliver follow up PD, and then end with another observation with additional coaching. We are excited to implement this new model! Call today to see what coaching opportunities we have available.

Want a fresh eye to help assess the effectiveness of your program? One of our coaches or instructors will use an approved Program Observation Instrument to assess your program and provide you with a detailed action plan for program growth and strengthening.

Helping you with your Continuous Quality Improvement in the STARS Program - our Standard of Care Manual will help you achieve your goals. Our highly qualified staff have extensive experience as teachers and administrators in the field. We have developed a manual of standardized care that includes policy requirements for STARS and high standards of care for Health and Safety, Curriculum and Programming, Guidance of Behavior, Family Engagement, and Assessment. We can personalize this with your organization's logo and information. Call us today for more information!
