The Parenting Network provides REGISTRY approved continuing education training. Staff register for training using TPN’s web-based system that requests information including Registry number and the name of the day care center where they are employed. Most Registry training is provided free of charge.  There is an at home reflection that must be completed after workshop attendance in order to earn Registry credit. Staff training is offered monthly over ZOOM and in person training can also be arranged. For more information, email Patrick Fendt at pfendt@theparentingnetwork.org.
