Professional Development

Oakland Starting Smart and Strong advances professional development across Oakland’s early care and education system. We design learning opportunities with educator voice at the center, recognizing educators as experts in their practice,  and ensure professional development is accessible, relevant, and supports high-quality practice across settings.
