Adults who are seeking employment or credentials in the child care industry can enroll for Director Training for Child Care, offered for eight weeks at Palo Alto College on the Southside.

The class meets from 7-10 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays from Oct. 4 through Nov. 29 at Palo Alto College. Cost is $150.

This course is perfect for assistant directors, child care workers and those new to child care, said Susan Woods, Continuing Education Program Manager. “It also helps you maintain your required CEU (Continuing Education Units) credentials or it can be for workers wanting assistance in starting their own business,” she said.

The class provides an in-depth study of the skills and techniques in managing early child care and education programs, including legal and ethical issues, personnel management, team building, leadership, conflict resolution, stress management, advocacy, professionalism, fiscal analysis and planning parent education/partnerships.

Another course that provides the path to become a certified Child Development Associate meets on Monday and Wednesday evenings from Oct. 3 through March 1.
