Why produce a “Train the Trainer” Guide?
Many different people in different settings need to be involved in order to reach all caregivers.
Training is not about paper resources, but about relationships.
Family Child Care Providers are adult learners and require training, which answers the needs of adult learners.

The training is easily adaptable to a wide range of formats including:
Classroom
Small Group
One-to-one
Self-directed
Distance education
