Oklahoma Right Start
The Oklahoma Right Start Project is focused on improving the quality of the child care program by building a strong, relationship-based foundation for infants and toddlers. We have Infant/Toddler Specialists across the state who have experience coaching adults and working in programs with infants and toddlers. This one-on-one coaching is offered at NO COST to your facility. In fact, infant/toddler teachers can receive $500 after completion of the project and sustained employment for 90 days after the follow-up visit. Licensed programs will receive a $500 credit to Lakeshore or Kaplan after the 30 hours are completed by the infant/toddler teacher.
