What is an Infant Toddler Specialist?
Infant Toddler Specialists (ITS) have extensive knowledge, certifications and specialized training in infant and toddler care and development. They offer support and training in your area through the NC Infant Toddler Quality Enhancement Project (ITQEP), a special project of the NC Child Care Resource & Referral Council. Each county has an ITS dedicated to supporting its child care centers.
Is there a fee for technical assistance/coaching and training?
Technical Assistance/Coaching is offered at no cost to you through funding from the NC Division of Child Development and Early Education.
Cost for training depends upon the agency offering the training.
How do I get started?
