Each training includes what age group the content focuses on. This is to help you determine the training course that is right for you based on the ages of the children you work with. If labeled "adult learners" that means there is no specific age group the training applies to and the training would be beneficial to any ECE professional no matter their role or the ages of the children they serve. 

Any training labeled "Micro-Training" is a training that is two hours in length. These trainings are packed full of content and engaging activities and provide opportunities to dive deeply into specific content.

Customized Offerings

Requests for customized services or projects locally and nationally can be made, but please provide us with a minimum of three months notice. Complete a Service Request Form using the "Request Services" button on this page to request any of the services below or customized projects.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Elevate has been instrumental in the success of the supports that we in Eagle County provide to our community. Certifications, trainings, resources and day-to-day questions are all approached with knowledge, kindness and responsiveness!" ~ Early Childhood Coach, Early Childhood Partners 

“EMBRACE™ has been a life changing experience for me! The curriculum, items sent to us, monthly group sessions, and most of all my one on one weekly coaching sessions with Melissa helped me grow and change both personally and professionally! The changes I experienced are lasting changes because the program isn’t just a one off training. I truly believe EMBRACE™ is a program that every educator would benefit from and I wish I had this class available at the beginning of my career!" ​~ EMBRACE™ Teacher Participant

"This was the best Clayton Early Learning class I have had. The instructors are outstanding teachers and I appreciated the "free" class but would gladly pay for another class from these two experts!" ~ Training Participant

“The knowledge shared and the experience doing certification observations annually since 2016 with the Elevate team has given me the confidence and expertise to affectively guild childcare providers through the ins and outs of the ERS assessment tools. I live in a rural area which can make it difficult to network with other coaches in person. I have gained valuable insight on how other coaches support providers going through Colorado Shines Ratings during the reliability sessions.” ~ Early Childhood Coach, Southwestern Colorado

"Thanks to this tool I am able to see the changes we need to adapt in order to have the center run smoother and support our families, staff and administrative team. Thank you." ~ Program Administration Scale (PAS) Assessment Participant 

“We hired Elevate to complete CLASS assessment in the Denver Metro area for our federally funded research study.  The Elevate team consistently provided efficient, high-quality work, demonstrating professionalism and expertise throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering accurate timely assessments have been invaluable to our study." ~ Professor & Chair, Teaching & Learning Sciences Department, University of Denver
