Welcome to the Director's Page!

Because you are so important in the life and quality of your center, CCR has devoted a section for you. We have listed information about which you have recently expressed an interest. Please feel free to contact us with other suggestions. We would like to hear from you!

Our most recent requests from directors have been:

Learning how to create a collective philosophy or set of beliefs with staff.
How to work with staff to help them become more reflective and open to learning and
How to create or choose a curriculum.

We have many resources in our library that can help you with all of the above. We have CD's with articles, books, videos, and hard copy articles. We also provide workshops that pertain to these topics Click Here to view our calendar of events.

"Click Here for a complete workshop kit that will help you conduct an in-house professional development workshop for your staff, called Kid's on the Move."

We have also addressed some of them in our newsletter, The Chronicle.
