For Childcare Providers:

We offer in person (at your childcare center!) and online classes for childcare providers that address:

• Are they ready? Knowing the Signs: This class covers the research behind readiness signs for starting solids, so your providers can confidently advise families on appropriate readiness signs.
• Baby Led Weaning in the Childcare Setting: This class prepares your providers to confidently and safely support families who are doing baby led weaning, in the group childcare setting.
• Child Led Spoonfeeding: This class teaches easy to implement strategies that promote child-led spoonfeeding and the research evidence to support this practice (hint: it improves child health!)
• Feeding Problems: Knowing the Signs: Feeding problems are best addressed when treated early. Childcare providers see children through many meals and snacks, and could help children get the help they need early. This class teaches evidence based information about (a) typical feeding development and (b) signs of a feeding problem.
