Welcome!

Highly competent trainers provide meaningful learning experiences that help professionals cultivate their capacity to nurture and guide young children's development. In collaboration with partners statewide, the New York State Association for the Education of Young Children (NYSAEYC) has developed a trainer approval process that verifies the education and qualifications of trainers who provide professional development to early learning providers in the state.

Approved Trainers have had their qualifications verified by the New York State Association for the Education of Young Children (NYSAEYC) through the NYS Early Learning Trainer Credential program. There are currently two types of Approved Trainers; Verified Specialty Trainers and Credentialed Trainers.
