The Lake County Child Care Planning Council held the Lake County Quality Care Counts Early Care and Education Professional Conference last month at Lake County Campus of Woodland Community College.
Attendees learned about the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) for Early Learning and Excellence. In addition, Mary Prather, from Easter Seals, taught on using the new Ages and Stages Social Emotional 2nd edition (ASQ SE-2) instrument. Attendees received an Activity book from Lisa Murphy (AKA-Ooey Gooey Lady) and a filled goody bag. Attendees received raffle prizes, a Cactus Grill lunch, practical education, and fun.
Lake County Campus offers a robust Early Childhood Education program taught by Dr. Laurie Daly. Students aspiring to work in a daycare, preschool, or K-12 schools have the ability to obtain a certificate or a degree at Lake County Campus. Working closely with the Child Development Center on campus and other local preschools, students are easily able to gain their field experience hours to fulfill their requirements.
For more information about the Early Childhood Education program come visit Lake County Campus at 15880 Dam Road Extension in Clearlake, call them at 707-995-7900, or visit their website at lcc.yccd.edu.
