A Place of Our Own Workshops

KQED Early Learning received an A Place of Our Own outreach grant for the second year in a row. KQED is proud to partner with KCET to provide training workshops in English and Spanish for parents and/or family, friend, and neighbor caregivers of young children from birth to five years old.

A Place of Our Own (Los Niños en Su Casa in Spanish) is an award-winning series, website, and outreach program devoted to the people who care for kids from birth to five years old.

This valuable series also responds to the needs and workplace realities of people who spend their days caring for children by including topics such as building partnerships with families, reducing stress, and completing paperwork. A Place of Our Own's support for child care providers recognizes the importance of their roles in the way children learn and develop. By supporting these important people and providing them with the resources they need, we better help our children prepare for school.

In the Community

A Place of Our Own is accompanied by comprehensive educational outreach and workforce development plans aimed at expanding the capacity and capabilities of child care providers. Print, web, video/DVDs, and multilingual professional development training workshops are the tools of our outreach efforts.

Major funding for the A Place of Our Own Workshops is provided by: BP, First 5 California, and First 5 LA. Additional funding provided by the Children and Families Commission of Orange County, The Rose Hills Foundation, and The Roth Family Foundation.
