One in a series of guidebooks, this manual was designed to help military child care center directors develop staff training plans. Two modules previously developed by the Military Child Care Project, the Child Guidance Series and the Child Environment Series, form the basis for suggestions. Section 1 of the manual provides detailed descriptions of objectives, training units, and other related materials in the two modules. Section 2 suggests a variety of ways that individual caregivers or groups of caregivers can benefit from the inclusion of the modules in a training plan. Section 3 suggests six ways that material from the two modules can be used in lively staff training workshops. Finally, an index to problem-solving situations, texts, checklists, and individual exercises in the two modules, along with a selected bibliography of recent relevant books, is appended. (MP)
