Each year the MCCA Training Institute reaches over 2000 child care

We offer hands-on, interactive training and a constructivist
approach that recognizes and builds on the existing knowledge and
experience of participants.
-
All MCCA trainers have extensive experience working directly with
children in child care settings; and our training techniques help
connect participants to these real experiences with children.
-
Our trainers present seminars at NAA, NAEYC and other state and
national conferences, complete over 30 hours of professional
development training every year, and have published articles in
Young Children and Child Care Information Exchange.
