with the
4C Institute for Early Childhood Excellence

 Free personalized coaching available

Whether you are new to child care or have been in the field for years, the Institute has learning opportunities for you. The Learning Tiers will help you increase knowledge and skills to provide higher quality care for children, including opportunities for infant, toddler, preschool and school age teachers.

Family child care providers and directors will also benefit from the opportunities available through the Institute’s tiered system of workshops and courses.

4C has developed a new curriculum for all courses with input from the local early childhood community. Participants in Institute courses may receive free personalized coaching.

Learning Tiers

Orientation: fundamental learning for teachers of infants, toddlers, preschool and school-age children as well as family child care providers. Orientation courses provide a strong base for quality care and education. After completing an orientation tier course, you will receive a 25% discount on a foundation tier course.

Foundation: specialized longer workshop series designed to help intermediate learners gain more knowledge and skills to care for children in a specific age group or environment. Once you have completed a foundation tier course, you will earn $200 credit towards college courses offered at 4C.

Gateway: fully develop your knowledge and skills at this level by taking college courses at 4C.

Advanced: opportunities for experienced providers focusing on trends in the industry, specialized topics or timely themes.
