Our new DVD format will be easy for workshop facilitators to deliver and it includes lots of participant interaction. Each 2-hour workshop will include an instructor’s manual, DVD with video clips, planned activities and camera-ready participant handouts.
NOTE: The funding entity for Better Kid Care stipulated that two programs developed this fiscal year should focus on infant/toddler topics and two focus on school-age. Please note that the two school-age topics will also be very appropriate for professionals working with pre-schoolers.
