Build Team Competencies
Working with babies, toddlers, and their families takes more than passion—it takes specific knowledge and skills. That’s what Prenatal to Age 5 (P-5) Competencies training is all about.
This flexible, self-paced course is perfect for onboarding new staff or providing continuing education for experienced professionals. Because whether you're just starting out or have years in the field, this training helps strengthen your ability to support young children and their families across different systems.

I looked at the baby in my arms and saw that he was looking right at me. He had always been looking at me. I suddenly realized that all the babies I had fed over the years were looking at me and that I had missed those opportunities. I felt so sorry to have missed those moments and vowed to never miss another. Thank you for creating this training that helped me to see this.
