"Empowering and Equipping Child Care Providers to Succeed Above Standards"
Early Childcare Professionals Must Understand 5 Primary Keys to Development:
2. How to keep children safe, feeling secured and remaining healthy.
3. How children’s families support their lives;
4. How and why children’s development is assessed; and
5. How to value and support the diversity of the children, their families and the staff.
Early Childcare Professionals must:
1. CREATE a safe, attractive,and interesting environment for children.
2. PLAN activities and experiences that are age-appropriate for the children’s grotwth and mastering skills.
3. DEVELOP activities which stimulate children’s physical, social,
intellectual and emotional development.
4. FACILITATE children interacting with one another in ways that guide them toward an understanding of one self, others and toward increased self-control.

OMART Training, Consulting & Development providing CDA Training at Congreso
Rudy and Obioma Martin of OMART Training, Consulting & Development (plus their son Paul) joined Mayor's Nutter's Press Conference announcing over a million and half additional Stimulus Training dollars for Philadelphians.
"Educating Philadelphians for diverse, lifelong careers is absolutely critical in today’s ever-changing economy,” said Mayor Nutter. “We want to make sure people have the strong skills they need -– to compete in a constantly evolving job market. That’s what we mean when we say we want to build strong human capital, and it’s how we’ll get people in jobs today and improve Philadelphia’s position in a global labor market for tomorrow.”
The announcement was made at Congreso de Latinos Unidos, recipient of up to $150,000 for a diesel mechanics and technicians program in partnership with Lincoln Technical Institute. In the previous round of funding, Congreso de Latinos Unidos was awarded $300,000 for a childhood development associate program. Participants in that program, who are expected to graduate later this month and all have employment lined up upon graduation, attended the event.
The accelerated CDA Training Program is a 10 week program that provides unemployed participants with the training & education necessary to obtain the national credential.
The participants are required to work as classroom aides, assistant teachers and teachers within the childcare industry.
On Janauary 21, 2010, ALL 11 students will have successfully completed the training and will be graduating on that day!!!
I am happy to report that every graduate is employed with a quality Day Care Center in Philadelphia at an average wage of $10.00 per hour.
Becasue of our highly successful training and job placement outcomes, we are contracted to provide additional CDA training.

President

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Let's CONNECT, COLLABORATE, CELEBRATE, and COMMUNICATE so that together we will raise excellent standards of professional child care services that will create a strong foundation for our children to grow, develop and ultimately flourish as productive adults with significant success and sustainability!!!!
OMART Training & Development is proud to offer you over 20 new professional development topics on site, on-line CDA training, at an affordable cost, at times, and at your locations which are convenient for your staff.
I know that you are already working on your annual Facility Training Needs for STARS. With that in mind here are a few tips for planning next year's training.
1. Decide which STAR level your center will focus on in 2011 or want to maintain, level 2, level 3 or level 4. Depending on the star level you choose the Director and staff will need anywhere from 12 to 27 hours of training.
· Completion of college credit hours will count toward annual clock hours of professional development. The hours allotted will be as follows: 1 credit = 15 annual clock hours.
· Annual clock hours include STARS approved professional development that has occurred in the 12 months prior to the designation visit. These hours may follow a staff person from one STARS facility to another, as long as the hours are taken within the year prior to designation and are aligned with the individual’s PDR.
· Fire and Water Safety do not count toward the required annual clock hours.
· Pediatric First Aid does not count toward the required annual clock hours.
2. Don't wait until the last minute to schedule training, it will be easier and cost effective to schedule your training over weeks or months throughout the year.
3. Meet with your staff to find out what areas they want or need to be trained in.
4. Select your topics, and then call me to confirm that your desired dates and times are available a month in advance.

Increasing Staff Accountability
Individual commitment to a group effort — that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work. -Vince Lombardi
In his column in the January/February 2012 issue of Exchange, Dennis Vicars observes, "A mentor once told me: We are always getting better or worse, but never staying the same. While that may well be, for the children’s sake, we ought to make it a priority to get better. And we only get better if our people get better, so that should be where…
