When and where will classes be held?
Classes will be held at locations throughout the New Orleans area (including Central City, New Orleans East and the West Bank). Participants will be able to choose from Wednesday evening sessions or Saturdays. NOTE: If you are signing up for a class with 6 dates, they are 'double sessions' (two sessions in one day). If you sign up for a class with 12 dates they are 'single sessions' (one session in one day). Each training is 12 sessions total. A list of confirmed dates and locations is available in our flier and in the chart below!
Do I need my director or principal's support?
Yes! We will be asking each director or principal for an assurance that they have approved of their staff's participation. If they do not complete and submit the very short assurance form when you apply, they will be asked to do so prior to the start of classes.
As a child care center director, how will this affect my compliance with labor laws?
At the conclusion of the training series, we will provide each center with a letter stating the exact amount of each stipend provided to each staff person who attended. The stipends are calculated at $15 per hour and are only available to individuals who work at eligible sites AND have completed all the sessions. Sites whose staff complete all sessions will also be eligible to receive classroom kits to support quality and small stipends to offset some of the costs incurred in having staff participate. The program stipends and classroom kits are dependent upon participants' attending every class and completing their homework. We strongly encourage sites to maintain a copy of the letter documenting the stipends for the purposes of documenting compliance with relevant Department of Labor regulations.

Is the class you'd like full? Place yourself on a waitlist!
Add yourself to our waitlist here! We will notify you if a space becomes available in a class. Note that we do plan to offer at least another session of Pre-K trainings later in the spring and may be able to offer infant and toddler sessions in the future as well.
