By Hannah Lewis, Outreach Specialist

KDL is pleased to offer online Early Childhood Essentials classes for childcare providers in collaboration with Great Start to Quality. These online courses, available for KDL patrons who provide childcare, are essential in keeping childcare providers up to date in their skills and training in order to provide quality service to the community.

Great Start to Quality works to create early learning experiences to build foundations for future success and offers low- to no-cost childcare for qualifying families.

Childcare providers are in high demand. KDL and the Great Start to Quality Kent Resource Center are ready to meet this demand by offering free courses. The courses are focused on a variety of early learning topics from mindfully feeding infants to toilet training. For more details, visit kdl.org/events.
