In-Service Courses and the Individual Training Program (ITP)
In-Service Courses for Child Care Centers 
In-Service courses are customized courses that are developed between the Center Director, Program or Educational Coordinator and the In-Service Coordinator of the Child Care Council, Inc.
The in-service courses can be presented in the evenings, after the center closes, or during the day with proper coverage. Centers can schedule one In-service Course, a few courses at a time, or plan courses for the entire year to meet all the training categories required by NYS Licensing Regulations.
Topics can include (but are not limited to):
-
Curriculum
-
Child Development
-
Health and Safety
-
Parent Communication
-
Environments
-
Positive Guidance
The Possibilities are ENDLESS!
In-Service Courses are planned at the convenience of the center and are conducted on site.

Individual Training Program (ITP) for Child Care Center Staff
This flexible and convenient program allows child care providers working in a child care center to receive individualized training in their classroom settings.
A professional and friendly education consultant will consistently provide you with resources, ideas and feedback about your program and classroom environment to meet your training requirements.
The ITP Program is designed to:
- Meet the needs of center staff to complete their NYS training requirements.
- Be individualized and focus on where the staff person needs or wants training. The ITERS or ECERS observation tool with be used by the staff person and trainer to determine what the ITP training will focus on.
- Provide for a minimum of 10 hours or a maximum of 30 training hours.
- Provide training on site, during the staff person’s working hours.
- Provide a hands on approach that is done while the person is working directly with the children.
For more information or to schedule classes, please contact the Coordinator, Andrea, by calling 585-654-4735.
