A Message from Child Care Aware of NH
|
|
|
The summer air is starting to chill and soon autumn will be upon us.
This September, the staff of CCAoNH is off and running. With the 2017-2018 Annual Training Calendar out, CCAoNH is offering a wide variety of trainings throughout the state. In addition, the
Caring for Our Children: Health, Safety, Nutrition and Wellness Conference
will be held in Nashua on September 23rd. Moving forward, we have several special events coming. On October 2nd, CCAoNH and ACROSS NH will be hosting the
Training and TA Institute on Emergency Planning
. On October 19th, the 4th Annual
NH Early Childhood Leadership Summit Part I
with Scott Noyes will be held in Manchester. See below for more details about our upcoming events.
Also this month, several staff are headed to Virginia for the National Workforce Registry Alliance Conference. This conference focuses on using data to improve early childhood education policy changes. This is a great opportunity for CCAoNH to get professional development on the workforce registry data.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you do for families and children. We hope that you enjoy this month's edition of Monthly Minutes.
