ELC Professional Development Institute Online Classes Available

March 20, 2020

As members of our training community, we wanted to share that the Professional Development Institute (PDI) remains your number one training partner.

PDI has been able to respond nimbly and quickly to the rapidly evolving Covid-19 emergency. As of Monday, March 16, the Professional Development Institute is 100% on-line. All of your preferred trainers are delivering a full array of live webinars, in English and Spanish, at the times most convenient for you. This means you can continue to access CEU bearing courses and workshops in the comfort of your own home.

The Professional Development Institute invites you and your staff to visit our website at https://trainings.elcmdm.org/Default.aspx and surf through our Training Tab and explore our training calendar. And stay tuned, we have many more professional development options coming down the pike very soon.

Please know you, your staff, our community, and the children you serve are in our thoughts. We thank you for your leadership and your passion for early learning. Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this journey together.
