PEP is dedicated to coordinating and developing high quality early care and education training across the state to make it easier for home providers to obtain annual training hours. with this commitment comes our guarantee that all trainings sponsored by PEP will be relevant and meaningful to the home child care professional.
Please remember that PEP is a professional network for family child care providers focused on training, support and networking. The focus of our meetings and trainings is support for the child care provider. Not all trainings or all discussions are appropriate for children, with that in mind your children or the children you care for may not attend group networking meetings or training sessions. If your local group or region plans a social function the option to include children may be available. Unless the local or regional event is specifically listed as a family event children should not be included.
