Do you find it difficult to find high-quality professional development or to attend after hour staff training workshops due to family commitments?  You are not alone!  The Learningtree Network was founded by educators and child care professionals who wanted staff training and professional development not only to be informative but also highly useful learning experiences. Additionally, it was important that workshops could be easily scheduled to fit into the personal schedules of workshop participants.

All Learningtree Network workshops, including its "web-based" online workshops, "live" online webinars, and its "on-site" in-person workshops are not only focused on the workshop topic but are developed to give workshop participants key information “they need to know” to become more effective educators and child care professionals … be it knowledge, skills, or techniques.

All workshops have been developed by the Learningtree Network’s network of certified and experienced professionals who have worked or are currently working in the field of child care, early childhood, or elementary education. Workshop developers, instructors, and leaders are expert and highly competent within their areas of teaching and the workshop they are developing to ensure that professional development workshops and training meet the highest standards and are of exceptional quality.

Instructors are approved instructors and trainers by the Pennsylvania Quality Assurance System (PQAS), New Jersey Workforce Registry, New York Aspire Registry, Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), Virginia Office of Early Childhood Development/Department of Social Services, and the Ohio Child Care Resource and Referral Association (OCCRRA).

Workshops are developed based on the most current research and practices in child development, learning styles and how children learn, assessment, behavior and behavioral management, learning environments, program management, and other components key to implementing a highly effective and successful early childhood program.
