Provider Access to a Community Equivalent (PACE) is an option for ECE roles who need an initial or short certificate (assistant teachers, lead teachers, or family home licensee.) PACE is a training series that includes Child Care Basics and EQEL Year 1 and Year 2. After completing these foundation trainings, providers complete the PACE Modules and On-the-Job Learning. To learn more, review the PACE Program Overview.

PACE Module 2: ECE Then and Now includes 3 online classes, job-embedded learning activities, and a workbook. Classes will be held live and online, 9 am-12 pm on Saturdays, September 10, 17 and 24, 2022. To register, click on the following link and fill out the Zoom Registration Form .
