Professional Development Opportunities for Early Educators and Providers
San Mateo County Office of Education
SMCOE has developed a calendar of professional development for early childhood educators for the school year 2019-2020. All professional development trainings are aligned with the local QRIS.
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. For questions about registration, see our registration policies here.
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.
