Each month, you'll receive this newsletter with all the upcoming provider trainings offered by PHLpreK. We'll include all the trainings we have scheduled so far for the current fiscal year. We will continue to list the trainings in the weekly newsletter. This newsletter is meant to help you organize training information.
During the Kindergarten Transition Part II training session, providers will have an opportunity to connect with community partners, including the School District of Philadelphia, Children’s Scholarship Fund, Great Philly Schools, and Temple University’s Institute on Disabilities. The session will offer providers an opportunity to learn more about each partner's role in Kindergarten Transition and answer any questions providers may have.
Get your kindergarten transition questions answered on Wednesday, March 24th at 10am or 1pm.
The PHLpreK Community of Practice will be an opportunity to discuss nutrition-related topics including highlights from the PHLpreK menu review and strategies to encourage water consumption. Space will be provided for participants to share past or current successes and challenges as well.
