Do you enjoy training childcare providers and preschool teachers on various topics? Would providers in your community like information on how to encourage healthy habits with their preschoolers? If so, you may be interested in becoming a BE ACTIVE KIDS TRAINER!
Since Be Active Kids is a statewide program, Trainers are volunteers who share this curriculum with childcare providers and preschool teachers at the local level. There are no specific qualifications for becoming a Be Active Kids Trainer. We do ask that our Trainers commit to training at least 20 North Carolina childcare providers or teachers on the program within one year of their train the trainer session. The curriculum is designed for four and five year olds, so we also ask that the providers or teachers trained only work with this age group.
