Staff Training and Achievements

Staff training is important to program quality.  Staff attend two company-sponsored training days a year and are provided individual ongoing training with the Program Director.  Staff are encouraged and supported to participate in trainings offered in the community.  These training opportunities include programs such as Boulder County Quality Infant and Toddler Training, High/Scope training, Boulder County Health Liaison Training, the Mary Culkin lecture series, college coursework and much more.

Highlights

Scholastic Early Childhood Professional Award Winner for Infant Teachers,
Jackie Eberl, CCC Infant Nursery Supervisor

“At 10 months old, the baby was not rolling over, sitting up, crawling, reacting socially, or showing any curiosity about her environment…in the child’s previous care setting, she had been left in her crib all day. So, Jackie went to work.” Eventually, through Jackie’s intervention, the child went on to meet all normal developmental milestones.
