Training

The Training Staff here at IPSU, uses the strengths-based approach to all aspects of their delivery. This style assists to identify and improve the strengths of the workers in the child care service. Our Facilitators prepare, develop and present workshops that are tailored to the needs of the employees, so that they are obtaining the highest quality training, entirely at their pace, language and time, yet gaining knowledge and information to provide those accessing their program a high quality Child Care Service.

Referrals
