Coaching / Mentoring Services
Coaching is designed to help child care providers improve the overall quality of their child care program. Child care providers work with a coach to develop a strength-based effective coaching plan that addresses areas for learning and program improvement. Coaching can also be used to support the implementation of new practices in a child care program.
Coaching time frames vary depending on the individual and the needs of the program. In general, providers and coaches meet either once or twice a week. The majority of coaching programs last for less than one year.
Coaching programs are most successful when combined with classroom trainings that are related to the specific skills that are being addressed. Coaching hours are eligible to be used towards the 30 hour regulatory training requirement.
