"Quality for All: Series for School-based Preschool Programs"

Williamsburg Location, Ready Regions 4, 5, 6

This event is specifically for leaders in school-based early childhood programs. Participants will be assigned to a session location based on their Ready Region. This registration is specific to Ready Regions 4, 5, and 6 on November 2, 2023 in Williamsburg. **If you are in a different Ready Region, do NOT register through this page.**

The Division of Early Childhood Care and Education at the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) will offer the Quality for All: Series for School-based Preschool Programs. The purpose of this series is to deliver targeted technical assistance and professional development to leaders in school-based early childhood programs.

The VDOE will assume the cost of registration and lunch. Space is limited; therefore, the following individuals are designated to register and attend:

• One school division leader who acts as the program administrator for ECSE programs,
• One school division or local agency leader who acts as the program coordinator for the VPI program, and
• One program leader who acts as the program leader or Disabilities Specialist for the Head Start program when the school division is the Head Start grantee.

If more than one person shares the designated role, it is the responsibility of the team to determine who will attend. Further, it is the responsibility of those who attend to work with team members not in attendance to share information and resources following the event.

Registration - Each individual planning to attend is to register themselves. Please do not register another person. The Training and Technical Assistance Center (TTAC) at George Mason University will manage registration.  Registration closes on October 23, 2023.
