Earn Training through Online Learning

Online learning is here! “Raising Readers,” a six-week, facilitator led course is especially designed for childcare providers working with children ages 3-5 years old. You’ll learn how to prepare preschoolers for success by developing their early literacy skills and providing them with the foundation for reading and writing for future academic success.
You can plan to spend approximately two hours each week completing the online activities. Through a grant from the City of San Antonio’s Department of Community Initiatives, the course is available at no cost
(a $169 value). You must have an email address and access to a computer with Internet connectivity. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate for 12 training hours.
