4 Corners Children’s Center (4CCC) is located on Brownsville Rd. in Hartland Four Corners. The Center is open from 7:30-5:30 Monday through Friday and serves up to 50 children, ages 6 weeks to 6 years. 4CCC joined the family of Registered Apprenticeship in June 2005.

“4 Corners Children’s Center strives to provide a family oriented environment, emphasizing each child’s commitment within our group and the community in which we live. The uniqueness of each child is recognized and nurtured with opportunities to explore and discover his/her world. We work and play with the whole child, respectful of his/her individual background.”

Apprentice Jennifer Hamblin graduated from high school in 2001 and has been employed at 4 Corner’s since 2003. Jen completed 5 of the 6 college courses needed for the Registered Apprenticeship Program prior to her registration with the VT Department of Labor in July 2007. Jen writes, “[The Apprenticeship Program] is a way for me to further my education while still being able to work full time. I will be more knowledgeable about my job and also the bond between my mentor and [me] will be stronger.”

Mentor Nancy Warner returns to the Program to support Jen in her professional development on-the-job at 4CCC. Nancy attended Data Institute in New Haven, CT, majoring in Computer Office Management before coming to work at 4CCC. She has earned her Infant Toddler Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in March 2004 and continues to take classes through Community College of Vermont, working towards her Associate’s degree. Nancy has been employed at 4 Corners Children’s Center since December 2001. Nancy writes, “Child care providers are a wonderful asset to their community but cannot always afford to continue their education. For this I feel this program is going to be beneficial to all.”

Owner Val Raney writes, “I want my staff to have the opportunity to further or begin their education. I also think it will help the classroom learning experience having two staff members working cooperatively as a team. I am so glad this Program is available in the State of Vermont. There is always room to grow and learn. Thanks for planting the seed here at 4 Corners!”
