About A CareGiver Network
A Caregiver Network, is a nonprofit organization founded for the purpose of raising the quality of child care through support and training opportunities. Effective January 1, 1998, we became a nonprofit organization registered with the Colorado Secretary of State. Our membership base is comprised of licensed family child care professionals, licensed child care center directors/staff/owners, and early childhood advocates.
Training for child care workers includes:
- Monthly membership meetings with workshop for continuing training hours and opportunities for networking (except for the months of July and December).
- We offer regular classroom courses child care providers are required to keep current, such as:
- CPR and First Aid
- Medication Administration
- Universal Precautions
- Family Child Care Prelicensing
- Monthly preschool planning meetings to prepare preschool curriculum for the upcoming month for children in your care.
- Biannual mini conferences presented through our Hurried Provider Series.
