Think Big with the Mentor / Coach Program
We are supporting child care
providers in homes and centers throughout
Idaho with projects big and small.
We have qualified mentor/coaches waiting to help you succeed.
It's
easy!
 Ask
Yourself: If I could get expert help
with anything in my child care business, what would that be? Would I
like an
expert to:
- Help me market my
program?
- Advise me on how to create a
network for parent involvement and support?
- Create or revise a business
plan?
- Evaluate my classroom
environment?
- Work with me on issues
involving health and safety?
- Offer ideas on lesson
planning?
- Offer ideas on a particular
emphasis like science or literacy?
- Help me write or revise
program policies and procedures?
Ask Us: Dial 2-1-1 and ask to speak with the Quality Child Care Consultant/Regional Mentor in your region or with Julaine Ziegert, Director of the MECE project. Tell us about your dream project. We
have different types of mentor/coaches available to meet with you weekly, monthly or even
just once, depending on the project you have in mind. Individual
contracts are set up between child care providers and qualified
mentor / coaches, depending on what you need. It is so
easy! Mentoring scholarships are available and your cost is only hard work and commitment!
Why Not? Take advantage of this great opportunity today. If you are registered in IdahoSTARS Professional Development System, call today. If you are not registered, dial 2-1-1 and ask for the Regional Quality Child Care Consultant in your region to begin the process.

Never doubt that a
small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can
change the world: indeed,
it's the only thing that ever has.
