Infant Toddler Specialists will target their work with programs that feed into elementary schools that are in academic emergency. Infant Toddler Specialists will provide center- based training and the Ready To Learn Coordinators will provide family child care training, utilizing common curriculum modules.

I continue to think about how to solve the following:
14
That our culture isn’t lacking in material things, but in human things. That it is people, not programs, that change children. That when relational needs in children are not met, and their social/emotional fabric begins to fray, what are the maladaptive ways that emerge so they can get their needs met?
15
How to utilize existing systems/structures to move forward a quality agenda in light of little public/legislative will to do so. How to keep all of you committed/ energized/productive and innovative when resources are scarce, support is limited and demands are increasing.
