The space you use in your home to provide child care services can have a dramatic impact on your ability to offer high quality care. An optimal environment helps support your essential daily activities – as we know, the early childhood care and education profession is incredibly demanding. Your space should help, not hinder you!
We also know it can be hard to decide what renovations and improvements to pursue.
This web page is set up to provide resources and examples of solutions to improve your physical environment that will promote health and safety, nurture development, facilitate learning, and support relationships.
This recorded training session is intended to provide home-based family child care providers information on how an optimal environment can help support essential daily activities and offer steps to take along with resources for making small-scale repairs and renovations to improve space. Course content includes guidance on where to start, best practice considerations, and next steps to take in improving the health, safety, and quality of caregiving areas – both indoor and outdoor.
Participants will receive one (1) hour of professional development credit from the Center for Early Learning Professionals (the Center). The recorded session is about 30+ minutes followed by a brief quiz and survey. In order to complete this training, participants must sign in or register on the Center’s training website. Once all tasks have been completed, a certificate will automatically be provided.
