Welcome to the 2009 Infant-Toddler Institute Home Page
Purpose
This institute is designed to bring families, professionals and paraprofessionals together to
learn about quality services for infants and toddlers - with and without special needs.
The infant-Toddler Institute is a statewide event dedicated to improving the lives of children throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. We have assembled trainers from across the state and nation to present sessions of interest to anyone interested in the welfare of children -- and particularly to those who provide child care, whether that's as a parent, grandparent, paraprofessional or professional.
Clicking on the menu items at the top and bottom of this page will take you through the site, as will the underlined text links within the pages.
The Infant-Toddler Institute is made up of both a full-day Pre-Institute, and a two-day Institute with over 40 diverse sessions from which to choose.
Available Credits
Sessions will be provided by credentialed trainers. For national speakers, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services will be petitioned to accept this training event for early care and education professionals according to statutes and regulations governing the licensure and certification of early care and education programs.
