We Grow Together Professional Development System
We Grow Together includes materials designed to enable trained local PD providers to support caregivers in learning to implement responsive practices with the infants and toddlers in their care. The goal is for caregivers to adopt the practices as habits and make these practices a regular part of how they interact with the children.
