Early Care Management Training
Directing a child care center is a complex and demanding job. Directors must have an in-depth
understanding of how to provide children with high quality, developmentally appropriate early care and
learning experiences. At the same time, they must master an array of skills needed to operate their
centers efficiently. Supported by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS),
the Early Care & Learning Council's Early Care Management Training Project provides training and
technical assistance designed to help center directors meet these challenges. Now in its 16th year, the
Project offers workshops to directors throughout New York State.
