Join WV Birth to Three RAU IV, Milton Public Library, and Cabell County Family Resource Network for a fun (and delightfully messy) creative play experience.
Each child will get to enjoy a snack, create their very own unique masterpiece to take home, along with a sippy cup as a special keepsake!
We can’t wait to see you there for a colorful, messy, and memorable time.

Quality Counts: Why High-Quality Care Matters is now available on WV STARS as an on-demand, self-paced course! This course counts toward the WV Child Care Credential- Director Specialization, but it is available for any early childhood educator. Upon completion, early childhood educators can obtain 1 hour in the WV Core Knowledge Area of Professionalism and Leadership.

Why does high-quality childcare matter? Because the need for quality childcare has never been greater! But what does it look like in our state? And how can we help? Early childhood educators will examine program supports that are necessary to achieve and maintain quality childcare and the important role they play within the process.

To find this self-paced course, log into your WV STARS account and click on the training calendar. Then click on the little blue box with 3 dots and 3 lines. Some options will appear; click on "Choose a Category" and then select "Self-Paced." All available self-paced options will appear in alphabetical order. Scroll down until you find Quality Counts: Why High-Quality Care Matters!
