Early Childhood: Professional Development
VPM supports the career-long learning that professional development provides for early educators and caregivers.
VPM PBS KIDS Edcamp provides professional development by allowing educators to serve as the leaders and experts that they are. This un-conference is an opportunity for educators to identify the learning opportunities that are most valuable to them. A time of collaboration and interaction encourages new relationships and the sharing of challenges and "best practice."
We are looking forward to collaborating with more community partners on future VPM PBS KIDS Edcamps in Central Virginia/Greater Richmond, The Shenandoah Valley and Charlottesville areas.

Self-paced Learning for Teachers
PBS KIDS offers a FREE special collection of flexible self-paced learning to help inspire teachers and provide support for the classroom. Choose from several learning experiences designed to spark new ideas and expand your skill set—you may also be able to earn between one to three professional development credit hours.
Established in 2018, this awards program recognizes committed educators who work with young children, from infants to second graders, and offers a variety of community building, leadership and professional learning opportunities provided by VPM and PBS KIDS.
Thank You Early Care Teachers!
VPM appreciates you and the work you do every day for the children and families in our communities.
