Our Children’s Book Discussion trainings are offered to help expand learning for children beyond just the sharing of the written word.

Confidentiality, especially around the safety of children, is a concern that is always important to be addressing. Providing trainings that shares knowledge around best practices with children requires images of children to facilitate informed discussions. FCCAM asks those attending our trainings to be respectful of confidentiality both during “live” trainings and in future viewing of archived webinars. Individual presenters have secured “permission to use likenesses” for any images of children from their programs that will be shared within their educational presentation. This aligns with the current State of Maine Family Child Care Provider Licensing Rule requirement on distribution of images.
