Child Care Provider Focus Groups
The PC needs your feedback on what workshop topics would be of most value to the provider community. Please call 650-493-3100 to request a specific workshop, find out when the next focus group will be held, or sign up for a short phone interview.

Workshops - for All Providers
Professional Development workshops will be provided over the course of the next year to help providers meet their professional growth goals and CARES requirements. These workshops will focus on the career development needs of Family Child Care providers and all CARES participants at steps 6-8. Center-based CARES participants at steps 0-5 should be working towards college units.

We want to hear from you!
We want to offer the workshops that the provider community needs most. Please take a moment to let us know what topics you'd like to see offered at the PC either by attending a provider Focus Group meeting, filling out a short survey next time you're at the PC, or emailing Agnes Chan with your top 5 workshop topic choices.
