In addition to checking out materials from our Resource Libraries to supplement their classrooms, Blue Ridge CCR&R supports excellence in local child care classrooms by offering engaging professional development workshops for staff, with credits and CEUs available. CCR&R staff can provide support to child care providers through Technical Assistance based on classroom assessment tools, with follow-up coaching and mentoring available for classroom staff members. Opportunities for professional development will be posted as soon as possible. Please check back with us for these dates.
