Resource and Lending Library
TRAINING & RESOURCE CENTER
Collier County Child Care Providers now have a place to get the information they need to enhance their curriculum. The Resource and Lending Library, at the NCEF Early Childhood Development Center on the campus of Edison State College, is available to ALL Child Care Providers, Centers and Homes, with access to Technical Assistance from our Resource Van Provider Specialists.
The library offers a variety of information, curriculum ideas, training videos, and resource books covering topics from Infants to School Age. There is also a computer with internet access available for providers who need to take classes online or get information from the DCF website.
The library also has access to the Resource Van which is sponsored by the Naples Children & Education Foundation. The Resource Van includes learning toys, games, puzzles, manipulatives, language activities, theme kits, musical instruments, CD’s and many more items for your classroom.
If you are not able to come in, we can bring these resources to you with the van!
