Childcare Enhancement with a Purpose
CCEP
Childcare Enhancement with a Purpose (CCEP) is a comprehensive training initiative aimed at improving the quality of childcare settings across the state. Funded by the Alabama Department of Human Resources, CCEP was established in 2002 to extend valuable support beyond the limited reach of inclusive early learning programs. The initiative provides free training, consultation, and onsite technical assistance to community childcare teachers.
HOW CCEP TRAINING OPERATES
CCEP Training is conducted annually at multiple facilities within the service area, significantly expanding childcare opportunities for children of all abilities. The program engages experienced developmental specialists who impart practical strategies for effectively including children with special needs in childcare settings. The training emphasizes understanding typical development and adopting developmentally appropriate practices. Consequently, it positively influences the care provided to all children, irrespective of their abilities, and raises awareness for the early identification of children at risk for developmental delays.
ADVANTAGES OF CCEP TRAINING
CCEP Training offers free onsite training, consultation, and technical assistance to childcare providers and parents, fostering the creation of inclusive classroom environments for children with special needs. Participants gain insights into:
