As we slide into the chilly months ahead, I’d like to extend a warm welcome through this December edition of REACH. 

In this issue, we dive into the different types of supports that are available to ALL licensed programs in Delaware. I encourage you to take a look and reach out (ecinstitute@udel.edu) with any questions.

As always, we include a number of free professional development opportunities offered through DIEEC. These offerings are tailored to your needs, to support your growth and success. 

Understanding the call for accessible virtual professional development, our ‘early childhood education resource highlight’ calls your attention to the Individualized Professional Development (iPD) Portfolio, a platform where early childhood educators can complete online courses that can be used for annual training hours. 

In our ongoing commitment to collaboration, we proudly highlight the Delaware Association for the Education of Young Children (deaeyc) as a valued partner in advancing early childhood education across the state.
