Our strength-based, partnership approach to building nurturing parenting skills while optimizing developmental outcomes.
Growing Great Kids Preschool
Growing Great Kids (GGK) for Preschool is a Curriculum & Certification Program for Home Visitors aimed at fostering the growth of nurturing, developmentally enriched parenting skills to support parents with their child’s development, from ages 3 to 5-years old. The Curriculum builds protective factors and strengthens family foundations by cultivating parents’ stress management and problem-solving skills.
Participation in a GGK for Preschool Certification Seminar is required to use the GGK for Preschool Curriculum. In this skill-driven seminar, home visitors and their supervisors build home visiting competencies and increase their understanding of the development of the preschool-age child. Home Visitors learn how to motivate parents to practice the GGK Daily Do’s (six essential parenting skill sets) and learn strategies for interacting with 3-5 year-old children.
We offer our GGK for Preschool certification training seminar in two formats:
Classroom: This in-person, classroom-style seminar includes four full days of training in an engaging, fun learning environment. Group size is between 6 to 12 participants per seminar.
Virtual: This remote learning seminar includes five days of blended learning – each day is composed of three hours of instructor-led webinar instruction and two hours of independent learning time. Group size is between 6 to 12 participants per seminar.
All participants of a GGK for Preschool certification seminar are provided with multiple post-training supports at no additional charge.
