Child Care Staff Development and Training: The Experience of a Large, Urban Child Care Resource and Referral Agency.
Ward, Antony
Child care resource and referral agencies (CCRRs) have a unique approach to child care staff development and training. They tend to look at the problem globally, taking account of all early childhood and child care programs, and all aspects of training and staff development, including pre- and in-service training, recruitment, compensation, and attrition. CCRRs may also have a broader view than other agencies of potential resources for training. Child Care, Inc., the largest CCRR in New York City, has responded to cutbacks in public training funds over the past several years by developing a set of guidelines for staff development and initiating several training programs. These programs are funded by an extraordinary variety of sources. Child Care, Inc. now trains over 550 child care workers a year. It draws on 38 different government, private, and corporate funding sources. Child Care, Inc. regards these initiatives as stopgap measures. Its major policy goals are to restore government funding of child care staff development and expand it to all child care workers, and to work with other institutions to create a coordinated plan for all early childhood and child care training in the city.
