Supporting Early
Childhood Educators
Helping professionals in early childcare expands CDR’s reach across the Commonwealth. Becky Chandler, director of the Rockingham Child Day Care Center in Harrisonburg, believes the help and mentoring she and her staff received from the Virginia Infant & Toddler Specialist Network (VA ITSN) helped the non-profit center greatly increase its impact.
“We had a lot thrown at us at once, and having CDR step in gave us confidence and helped us create a plan for his constant progress.”
The expansion nearly doubled the number of children in the center’s care. “We had a lot of work to do to get ready for that,” she said. Becky contacted VA ITSN and immediately began working with Janet Yang, technical assistance coordinator. Together, the two created a plan on how to organize classrooms, expand and improve parent and employee handbooks, and make the center certified as a breastfeeding friendly facility.
In addition, Becky said, the advice she and her staff received gave them the confidence they needed to provide the best services possible to the families.
