Schedule a Training/Webinar
To schedule a training in Minnesota contact me directly at tomcopeland@live.com; 651-280-5991.
To schedule a training outside of Minnesota or a webinar, contact Mandi Hardy at the National Association for Family Child Care: mhardy@nafcc-mail.org; 800-359-3817 (ext. 225).
My trainings and webinars are sponsored at the local level by a variety of organizations: Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, family child care associations, community colleges, economic development centers, family child care coordinators on military bases, and other groups. Anyone can sponsor my trainings! If you are a family child care provider who wants me to conduct a training in your area, contact one of the above groups about inviting me to appear.
To see if my workshops qualify for in-service hours in your area, contact your local child care licensor or Child Care Resource and Referral Agency.
