As part of the California Department of Education Child Development Division’s ongoing commitment to improve the care of children from birth to age three, WestEd's Center for Child and Family Studies conducts subsidized on-site training and mentoring for infant/toddler center staff and groups of family child care providers, through the Partners for Quality (PQ) program. The training provides an opportunity for participants to explore the Program for Infant/Toddler Care (PITC) philosophy, curriculum, and recommended practices through on-site training and coaching that is specific to the needs of the center staff or individual family child care provider.
PITC is a responsive, relationship-based approach to infant/toddler care and is based on sound developmental research, theory, and practice. The PITC philosophy has six essential program policies: primary care; small groups; continuity of care; individualized schedules and routines; inclusion; and culture. PITC PQ services provide the framework for a responsive caregiving curriculum. The training is presented using a comprehensive series of videos and active adult learning strategies.
