Directory of Training Programs for Family-Focused Home-Based Child Development Programs.
Children First, Inc., Washington, DC.
This directory lists programs which specialize in providing some form of home-based family-focused child development training for parents, parent educators, agencies, professionals, adolescents, and others. These programs were identified as possible supplements or complements to the training offered by the six regional federally funded Home Start Training Centers (HSTCs). The guide describes the six regional programs as well as those offered by 35 other agencies. Program descriptions are grouped according to the geographical region covered by the individual HSTCs. In addition to a general summary of each program, the descriptions include contact information; information on the frequency, cost and appropriate level of training, and prerequisites for training; the number of persons who have been trained in the program; and the year the program began. The directory also includes cross-reference charts for training level and program focus. The training level chart categorizes programs by the provision of introductory, intermediate, or highly specialized training in child development or parent education. The program focus chart groups programs which are intended primarily for parents, teachers, or providers; for adolescents; or for agency personnel. (BD)
