Program Details

Project Best equips center-based and family child care providers with the knowledge and skills to support the intellectual, physical, and emotional development of the children in their care. Through college-level coursework and individualized coaching, providers learn and implement six essential program policies: primary care, small groups, continuity of care, individualized schedules and routines, inclusion, and cultural sensitivity and responsiveness. By participating, providers lay a strong foundation for infants and toddlers in group care, ensuring high-quality, nurturing environments that meet the unique needs of every child. Current clients of Child & Family Resources are encouraged to complete a survey to help us continually improve the program.
