Activities
The PDG-R team is creating a training and technical assistance plan to improve the quality of interactions in tribal child care.
The team will align systems for improving trainings from tribal early learning and care to school districts as well as work with the Child Care Resource Center to revise Parent Café materials and curricula to support tribal parents and ensure tribal cultural relevance.
The Tribal Child Care Association of California (TCCAC) has made great strides during the Preschool Development Grant–Renewal period. Its Workforce Pathways project has been successful in supporting teachers and staff in tribal child care communities with culturally responsive and respectful professional development and resources.
Additionally, TCCAC has gained a full board of directors and achieved nonprofit status as an organization. The California Department of Education is working closely with TCCAC and looks forward to engaging with TCCAC as it plans and implements a tribal quality improvement system focused on data collection and continuous quality improvement in tribal child care throughout California.
