Early Care and Learning Matters
Early Care and Learning professionals are a child’s first teachers, shaping their future during the most critical years of development. Far more than babysitting, early care and learning lays the foundation for lifelong success—90% of brain development occurs in the first five years of life. We are proud to champion and support the profession that builds the foundation for all other industries.
TRAC connects early care and learning (ECL) providers to training, resources, and advocacy opportunities to professionalize and support their essential work.
TRAC Foundations
-
Training
Training and professional development opportunities establish a clear pathway for early care and learning providers to develop into highly skilled professionals. By professionalizing the ECL workforce, we will better support all industries in our communities.
-
Resources
Intentionally equipping our early care and learning professionals with the tools, resources, and knowledge needed so that they are well-prepared to provide excellent care and learning experiences for young children provides the East Central Indiana Region with a strong foundation.
-
Advocacy
Advocacy involves actively championing the essential nature of high-quality early care and learning experiences. TRAC will work to influence policies, practices, and public perception to create a more supportive and sustainable work environment for early care and learning professionals.
