Our technical assistance services engage our consultants and RTAC partners, increasing the resources and customized support needed to strengthen or start your program.
RTAC assists schools, districts, and early childhood education centers in developing and implementing high-quality programs. This support includes guidance on curriculum development, instructional strategies, assessment tools, and other helpful support services.
We provide on-site coaching and professional development to teachers and early childhood educators. This involves observing classroom practices, providing constructive feedback, modeling effective teaching techniques, and offering guidance on individualized instruction and student engagement strategies.
Every year, New York State appropriates hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for early childhood education programs. However, it requires in-depth knowledge of the grant writing process to obtain the share of funding your program deserves.
Governor Kathy Hochul announced a $500 million investment in the FY 2024 Budget to bolster New York’s child care workforce through the Workforce Retention Grant Program. Funding from the program will support 150,000 child care workers and can be used to provide bonus payments ranging from $2,300 to $3,000 to staff in caregiving roles, as well as to recruit new staff, offer sign-on and referral bonuses, and more.
Understanding the financial aspects of early childhood education is crucial for sustainable program implementation. The RTAC supports early childhood learning programs with resource allocation recommendations and fiscal management. We offer expertise in developing comprehensive and realistic budgets that optimize resources while meeting program goals.
Collaborating with local CBOs can enhance the reach and impact of early childhood education initiatives. We assist in developing effective partnership engagement strategies with CBOs. This involves identifying potential partners, establishing meaningful connections, and fostering collaboration to leverage additional resources, expertise, and community support.
