Child Care Provider Professional Development Series

All area child care providers are welcome to attend the FREE Child Care Provider Quarterly Professional Development Series. Attendees will receive credit towards annual recertification requirements.

Speaker: Josh Tanguay, Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist and owner of Western Kansas Therapy Associates
Topic: Having Difficult Conversations with Caregivers

• Bridging a conversation with caregivers who are in denial about a child needing therapy or services
• Addressing concerning behaviors of children with caregivers
• Addressing concerning behaviors between caregivers
• Setting realistic expectations

We are also pleased to offer FREE fingerprinting services at this event from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Preference will be given to child care providers and their spouses whose fingerprints expire within 45 - 60 days of each event.

There will also be a prize drawing for attendees that evening. This is a wonderful opportunity for child care providers to connect with fellow professionals and build strong networks. 

A special thank you to the Robert E. & Patricia A. Schmidt Foundation for their sponsorship of this series!
