Focus population: Children, Teachers, Guardians, and Parents
Goals and outcomes: This program was not implemented by the Clearinghouse
Brief/executive summary of program: Our primary objective is to promote secure and respectful relationships between caregivers and children. Our workshops aim to empower caregivers with the necessary tools to establish a strong foundation for children’s future success.
The anticipated outcomes of our program include increased caregiving confidence and a sense of security in their ability to nurture children’s natural abilities and development. To measure the impact of our workshops, we will employ a survey-based approach, conducting both pre- and postworkshop surveys to assess participants' understanding and confidence.
The proposed workshop series, a collaborative effort between the Oklahoma Association for the
Education of Young Children and certified trainers, seeks to empower caregivers with vital
insights into the paramount significance of this early phase. This approach serves as a
cornerstone for establishing trust and respect between caregivers and infants, fostering an
environment where children can pursue their interests and develop at their own unique pace.
