Research has shown that children’s growth and development is positively impacted by adults who continue to participate in their own learning about early childhood development. Action for Children sponsors a variety of classes to serve the needs of child care center directors and their staff, family home child care providers caring for children from birth to 6 years of age and for out-of-school time specialists serving school-age children. AFC’s workshops are led by early childhood experts experienced in working with young children and leading adults in their own learning and development.
