Partner Facilitator Training

Family Child Care at Its Best (FCCB) is now offering training for Partner Facilitators! Trainers, coaches, and community leaders who provide support to family child care or family, friend, and neighbor providers can learn how to facilitate FCCB workshops and gain access to all necessary curriculum to offer various workshop topics.

Partner Facilitator Authorization Process

Partner Facilitator training is a two-step process:

Step One: Complete the Intro to Family Child Care at Its Best for Partner Facilitators course.

Intro to Family Child Care at Its Best for Partner Facilitators provides foundational knowledge and serves as a prerequisite to the topic-specific partner facilitator training courses. This 5 hour course includes 3 hours of asynchronous pre-work, followed by a 2-hour live Zoom session. Participants need to complete this course to access registration for topics available as part of the Family Child Care at Its Best Training of Partner Facilitators courses.

This course is offered two times per year. 

Step Two: Complete a Family Child Care at Its Best Training of Partner Facilitators course for the topic(s) of your choice.

Partner Facilitator candidates must attend a curriculum course for each topic they would like to be authorized to facilitate.

Each Partner Facilitator Curriculum course covers one FCCB curriculum topic. All courses are approximately a 15 hour commitment and are conducted in a hybrid format: 5 hours to be completed on Canvas and three Zoom sessions. You will receive an email from Family Child Care at Its Best inviting you to register for the curriculum course topics. Please make sure you are available for all three dates on the curriculum flyer before you register, as no make-up sessions are available. 

After completing the course, Partner Facilitators will receive access to the full curriculum for that topic in all available languages.

  • Partner Facilitators are required to ensure any workshops they offer are listed on the California Early Care and Education Workforce Registry.
  • Partner Facilitators may lead FCCB workshops for their own or other agencies, and are allowed to charge for their time. FCCB workshops must always be offered at NO COST to attendees.

Partner Facilitator training will be offered on multiple topics throughout the year. To support equitable access to this opportunity, please do not register unless you have plans to facilitate FCCB workshops in the near future.

*FCCB reserves the right to remove a Partner Facilitator’s access to curriculum.
