Technical Assistance Providers
SC Endeavors facilitates the certification process for Technical Assistance Providers offering technical assistance to programs and educators in the field of early care and education. We, also, maintain the oversight and management of the certified Technical Assistance Database.
The Technical Assistance System is dedicated to the improvement in the quality of all early childhood programs. The voluntary system enhances the state’s capacity to effectively support and monitor early care and education programs. Technical Assistance is a multi-level process of a range of on-site assistance which includes guidance, consultation, modeling, and support that strengthens the quality of care provided to infants, toddlers, preschool, and school-age children.
