early childhood issues, and provide resources for our parents that

Chesterfield County Child Care Directors Networking Forum

Through our coordination, child care directors now have a networking forum in order to share information and ideas and to receive training and support.The Forum meets on the third Tuesday of each month from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. in one of the member center. Click here for a calendar of upcoming Forums.

In recent years, the Forumhas expanded on directors' VISIONS for their programs through the resource, The Visionary Director: A Handbook for Dreaming, Organizing, and Improvising in Your Center. This practical guide offers a concrete framework for organizing an early childhood director's thoughts and work. Chapters cover topics such as cultivating a vision, developing "systems thinking" for management roles, implementing principle and strategies for mentoring and building a learning community for adults and children.
