CCR will host four training <br />workshops with technical assistance and coaching opportunities for all early educators in Indian <br />River County. Additionally, the Conscious Discipline Immersion Program (CDIP) and Childcare <br />Resources Education Advancement and Training for Early Educators (CREATE) are designed to <br />raise the quality of early childhood education locally. All workshops will take place on a Saturday <br />in the county.
