Florida’s early care and education (ECE) professional learning system provides training opportunities to early care providers to ensure children receive developmentally appropriate educational opportunities. The ECE professional learning system is a framework with elements that define career pathways tied to credentials, certifications and qualifications to meet the needs of individual adult learners in the field. The Division of Early Learning’s (DEL) network of lead trainers, representing each of the 30 early learning coalitions and school districts, delivers professional learning regionally. DEL chooses lead trainers for their education, experience in early education, and training and recognition as an outcomes-driven training facilitator. Visit the DEL professional learning web page to learn about the available professional learning opportunities.
