UNM Cariño Early Childhood TTAP Training Guidelines
UNM Cariño EC trainings fill up fast! Be sure to read, understand & follow these guidelines:
- Please sign up by phone (277-1371) or email (dburkhol@unm.edu) before the training so we will be expecting you and have a chair reserved.
- Please leave a DETAILED voicemail message with your name and phone number and your call will be returned in the order it was received. Cariño’s registration system ensures that spaces are filled on a first come first served basis.
- You will receive registration confirmation via phone or email with training details, location, etc.
- Please note that you may no longer call to pre-register for other participants. Each individual must pre-register herself/himself.
- You may sign up for more than 1 training at a time (maximum 3 per month), but — please — if you sign up, show up. If you “no show” without cancellation ahead of time, you may automatically lose any future reservations you may have had.
- Each child care center is respectfully asked to not sign up more than three participants per training, so as to allow more centers and family child care home providers to participate.
- You are encouraged to attend all parts for series based trainings. These trainings are structured to build on one another and enhance the learning experience.
- Certificates are issued at the end of each training and will not be issued early under any circumstances.
- Plan to arrive on time. Only a short “grace period” of 5 minutes is allowed, after which latecomers will not be admitted (we all know how disruptive it can be when people walk in well after a training/meeting has started).
- No children are allowed; this is because we as early childhood professionals believe this is not an appropriate setting for children as we are not able to accommodate them with toys or room to play. In addition, children can be a distraction to the presenter as well as to the participants.
- Any disruptive or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated and at the discretion of the trainer you may be asked to leave.
- Cell phone calls are not permitted during the training. Please turn your cell phone to silent or off.
-
Trainings with (5) Pre-Registered Participants or less may be cancelled.
-
Inclement Weather/Training Cancellation Line 277-1371 Evenings & Saturdays.
-
No food or drink is allowed in the Cariño EC TTAP classroom so please plan accordingly.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
