Frequently Asked Questions
I want to attend a workshop by Tom Copeland, but they are all too far away from where I live. How can I get him to come to my area?
We work through sponsoring organizations around the country. Such organizations include Child Care Resource and Referral agencies, family child care associations, community colleges, economic development centers, family child care coordinators on military bases, and other groups. Contact such a group in your area and have their representative contact NAFCC for more information on how to make this happen.
Can I get credit for Tom's trainings?
To see if Tom's workshops qualify for in-service hours in your area, contact your family child care licensor or your local Child Care Resource and Referral agency.
What's the difference between a 'provider' and 'trainer' training?
A 'provider' workshop is intended for family child care providers and addresses issues specific to their day-to-day business. A 'trainer' workshop is for those who are looking for assistance in how to teach business topics to family child care providers. Attendees at a 'trainer' workshop may work for a Child Care Resource and Referral agency, tax preparer, trainer, or sometimes a family child care provider who wants more in depth information.
