Training for Early Childhood Programs
Give your staff training worth the hours it takes.
Early Ed Essentials designs live workshops and self-paced courses for early childhood teams — built to fit your budget, your staff’s schedule, and the standards your program is held to.
No individual sign-ups to chase. No generic content your staff has already sat through twice. Training built around your program.
Membership starting at $75/staff/year — or buy self-paced courses individually.
Why Directors Choose Early Ed Essentials
One vendor for your whole team's training.
One vendor for your whole team's training.
Coordinating PD across a staff is its own job — different hire dates, different requirements, different schedules. Early Ed Essentials gives you one place to plan it: live workshops you can book for your team, self-paced courses your staff can complete on their own time, and a clear picture of what's covered and what isn't.
Training that actually changes what happens in the classroom.
Every workshop and course is built around one question: what will staff do differently the next day? Not just hours logged — practice changed.
What We Offer
Live Workshops
A quarterly needs-analysis and live training session for your team, included with Premium membership.
Self-Paced Courses
Assign courses your staff completes on their own time, at their own pace, without pulling them off the floor.
Director's Lounge
Free tools built for you specifically — templates, checklists, and guides for running the program.
How It Works
Three steps from where you are to where you need to be.
1 — Choose what fits your team
Buy a self-paced course individually, or pick a Basic or Premium membership sized to your staff and budget — Premium adds live sessions, and pricing is upfront either way.
2 — Add your staff
Tell us who's on your team — name, email, and track for each person. That's what sets up their login and gets them into the right courses.
3 — Your team gets to work
Staff complete training on their own time (or attend their live session), and you get a clear record of what's been completed.
