VIRTUAL LAB SCHOOL

Research is clear: time spent in high-quality care settings has a positive influence on children's outcomes, and well-trained teachers are key to creating quality experiences. The Virtual Lab School (VLS) provides child and youth educators an opportunity to advance their knowledge and skills through a research-based, online professional development system. Our system is designed to facilitate, and leverage, a practice-based coaching model in which trained coaches and program managers partner with and support child and youth educators to learn and apply developmentally appropriate practices in their program.
