Our Services
Our scope of work is focused on improving the quality of early care and education through four key initiatives:

• Differentiated Coaching
  OTb5 will provide high-quality coaching for child care staff using a research based model that supports child and teacher interactions and the use of high-quality instructional tools.
  
  

• Group Training
  Group training will be made up of a combination of Louisiana Key Training Modules (training modules provided by the Louisiana Department of Education) and contractor created training modules.
  
  

• Early Childhood Resource Centers
  OTb5 will act as a centralized source of child care information, supporting families and the child care industry in the community. This includes providing emergency respite care in Critical Transportation Needs Shelters in times of natural disasters or other declared emergencies as needed.
  
  

• Early Childhood Ancillary Certificate (ECAC): Teacher Preparation Program
  A BESE approved program to provide a unified and comprehensive early childhood teacher preparation program focused on content knowledge and applied practice. This program is for lead teachers in Type III ELC that have less than 36 clock hours.
