Early Learning Guidelines Training Modules

These five modules cover important information in each of the four developmental domains featured in the Early Learning Guidelines.  These modules were developed to assist trainers as they provide trainings to child care providers on the Infant, Toddler, and Three-Year-Old Early Learning Guidelines. Each module features a Facilitator Guide, Participant Guide, and a PowerPoint Presentation for trainers to use in their training. Click here to access the training.
