On-Site Workshops Why waste time driving to Child Care Links for training when

we can bring the trainer to you. Get all of your staff in the

same workshop. It is a great way to share ideas, and learn

new skills together. Just think, while the children are

napping your staff could be learning. Days, nights, times and

workshops are all available at your request.

Just a brief sample of the over 100 On-Site

Workshops offered are:

BLOOM, Be the Teacher That Lives in

Children’s Memories

Learning with the Brain & Body

Learn more to Stress Less

Why do they do that? Understanding Learning

Disabilities
