Presenter promotes training modules to help subsidy staff engage families
Summary
A presenter outlined the "Promoting Informed Child Care Choices" professional development modules — funded by the Office of Child Care and developed with Head Start partners — as resources for subsidy staff and supervisors to improve family engagement under CCDF.
A presenter described a new professional development series aimed at improving subsidy staff interactions with families enrolled in child care assistance programs, saying the effort supports implementation of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF).
The presenter said, "The National Center on Subsidy Innovation and Accountability, or NCSIA, supports the implementation of CCDF, the Child Care and Development Fund," and added that "CCDF makes family engagement and consumer education a priority," framing the modules as a tool to meet that priority.
The training, titled "Promoting Informed Child Care Choices," is targeted at subsidy staff, peer supervisors and others responsible for staff training. "If so, we have what you need to help your staff enhance every one of their frequent connections with families," the presenter said, urging agencies to consider the modules.
The presenter said the modules were funded by the Office of Child Care and were "developed by the Office of Head Start and the National Center on Parent and Family Engagement." Each module, the presenter said, includes a statement of why the topic matters, goals, learning objectives, key competencies and logistical information. The series also contains discussion elements, "thoughts from the field," activities and reflective practice exercises to support implementation.
The presenter closed by inviting listeners to contact Nixia for a train‑the‑trainer opportunity or with questions about the modules: "We are excited to share these training modules with you. We hope you find them useful and we invite you to reach out to Nixia if you're interested in setting up a train the trainer opportunity or have questions about the modules."
