TRAINING
Training and Coaching is at the very core of our mission at Rainbow Fleet. We offer numerous educational opportunities each month covering various child care topics. All of our training is formal and can be applied toward DHS licensing and STARS requirements.
Rainbow Fleet also offers free coaching for childcare providers. We are here to support childcare professionals in reaching their goals, and coaching bridges the gap by putting ideas into practice. Please call us at 405-525-3111 or email jlahood@rainbowfleet.org if you are interested in booking an in person training or would like to speak with one of our qualified Childcare Coaches.
