SMCOE's Early Learning Support Services department is currently confirming the details for two professional development opportunities we hope to offer come October:

California Early Childhood Online

The California Early Childhood Online (CECO) is an online learning portal from the California Department of Education. Check back soon for additional trainings related to including children with special needs in early learning settings.

San Mateo County 4Cs

4Cs, the local child care resource and referral agency, also offers professional development for early learning providers, particularly family child care operators.

Professional Development Stipends for Early Educators and Providers

Teachers who work in state-funded child development programs and/or work in centers or family child care homes participating in Quality Counts, San Mateo's Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS), may be eligible for a stipend for attending professional development through the QRIS Teacher Stipend Program.
