Growing a Community of Early Childhood Caregivers
The Training Hub offers training programs for parents and professional caregivers, as well as students and volunteers in the early childhood care and education sector. We use cutting-edge theory on early brain development and relational teaching methods that bring together the child and adult on this learning journey. OneSky’s training is interactive and suited for trainees of all educational backgrounds.
Parenting Skills Training Program
OneSky offers parenting skills training to caregivers of children aged between 0-6 for families in need. The interactive training program is rooted in the Onesky Approach to responsive and nurturing caregiving. Core teaching topics include early brain development; four main areas of early childhood development (cognitive, motor (physical), language and communication, social and emotional); learning through play; and secure attachment theory and activities.
Community Training Program
The community training program is suitable for those who work with young children, including community nannies, students in early childhood education and social work disciplines and early childhood service volunteers. We welcome trainees of all educational backgrounds. The curriculum is based on the latest child development theories and teaching methods and hands-on techniques. The content covers early brain development and child development, designing learning environments, communication skills with caregivers, and more. Through the training, we hope to create a loving network of care in the community for young children and vulnerable families.
OneSky “Community Helpers” Project
We encourage caregivers who have finished the parenting skills training program to be our Community Helpers, sharing their experience with other caregivers in need. This enhances their nurturing skills as well as gives back to other parents in low-resourced communities. The project also welcomes caring volunteers with solid early childhood service experience.
We are dedicated to joining hands with community partners to provide support for underprivileged communities including but not limited to low-income families, ethnic minorities, and refugees. Through various events such as community outreach, workshops, parent-child activities, talks and sharing, we aim to strengthen networks by supporting those in need with quality programs.
We would love to connect with you and work together to provide support for vulnerable communities.
