The museum's Creating Curriculum Childcare Training Program is an early childhood education Quality Enhancement training project supported by the NH Board of Education's School Readiness Initiative.

Creating Curriculum is a collaborative program, now in its eighth year, of the Connecticut Children's Museum and its child care program, Creating Kids, and the Fair Haven Community Health Center.

Creating Curriculum will be offered as a Gateway Community College course in 2006.

This is an innovative and experiential training program which uses the structure of a children's museum and the program model of multiple intelligences.

Child care providers from inner-city home and center-based settings gather for fifteen evening sessions for a skills-building seminar course, taught in a creative framework of lectures, multi-media presentations and interactive workshops.

This program increases the quality of child care and school readiness for New Haven's children through staff development; participants earn college credits or credits towards their CDA -- Child Development Associate certificate.
