Frequently Asked Questions

Professionals who have experience, education and expertise they can share with early childhood practitioners. There are several levels and categories of trainers, you can see what's the best fit for you here.

When you register, you'll get an email with instructions on how to join our Zoom meeting, with a unique link for each workshop. 

Here's what you'll need:

  • Computer or tablet with a camera (we want to see your beautiful face!)
  • Strong internet connection
  • A good way to take notes
  • Give yourself the gift of being fully focused and engaged in your growth and learning. Turn off notifications, tell others you are unavailable, put a 'do not disturb' sign on the door 😉

Yes, provided you attend the workshop, sign in at the beginning and sign off at the end - that way I know you were actually there on the other side of the computer screen. Your certificate of completion will be emailed to you.

You'll be able to access a recording for a limited time after each live workshop. This will allow you time to rewatch as you are actually creating your first training outlines and planning how get your audience engaged and excited about what you're teaching. 

I know things come up, especially if you work full time in an early childhood program. If you're unable to make it, you can email me and we'll make sure you have access to the recording. We'll give you a worksheet to complete as you watch the recording. Once that's submitted, we'll send your certificate.

It depends. There are several levels of registered trainers. Your education, number of years working with children, and profession will define your level. Verification of your experience and education is part of your application process through the Texas Trainer Registry.

That said, seasoned teachers and administrators have a wealth of knowledge to share, especially with those just starting out with children. We need you out there! Plus it's tons of fun 🤩

Once you're a registered trainer in the state of Texas, your registry is good for 3 years. There are requirements for recertification, which include TOT training and documentation of trainings provided. You can learn more here.
