About

For more than 55 years, Trying Together has supported the work of early childhood with a dedication to making sure every caregiver feels valued. In pursuit of this vision, Trying Together delivers professional growth services that connect with high-quality early childhood practices. All courses offered by Trying Together are instructed by a certified PQAS instructor and are ACT 48 approved.

Our organization strives to ensure that all courses align with the Pennsylvania Core Knowledge Competencies, NAEYC Standards, Danielson Framework, and Keystone STARS performance standards. To best meet the needs of each professional growth content request, Trying Together may draw on an External Instructor’s expertise.
