KQED partners with Contra Costa County Office of Education to provide 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. Early Learning is proud to partner with KCET to provide training workshops in English and Spanish for 100 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.
KCET's A Place of Our Own (and Los Niños
en Su Casa in Spanish) is a daily television series, a website, and an extensive outreach program devoted to the unique needs of people who care for children. Every interaction and every activity of these adults provide valuable opportunities to help children learn and grow.
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.

Opportunities. KQED is presenting A Place of Our Own workshops at the following
