About us

Every great journey begins with a story!

The landscape of early childhood education is ever-changing, and so are needs of the programs that serve children during their most critical periods of learning. These ongoing changes create a field of rapid evolution, challenging programs to adapt quickly while ensuring they are always meeting the needs of children and families. ,

The Early Childhood Training Company was born in 2022 to help programs continue to grow and improve the way they serve children. We were confident that we could capitalize on years of field experience in early childhood and combine that expertise with educational technologies that can bring personalized training opportunities wherever there was need. This company is a living and growing organization, whose calling is to serve children and families. The best way way we can do that is to serve our teachers and program and, together, bring always-improving childcare services to every community.
