The Rutland County Parent Child Center graduates 2 apprentices!!! Helen Delong and Tabatha Hebert have both successfully completed all requirements for the credential of Child Development Specialist!

Rutland County Parent Child Center is one of a network of 14 parent child centers around the state of Vermont. RCPCC is located on Pleasant Street and hosts a variety of support programs for families, including teen parenting support.

RCPCC has been a part of the Registered Child Care Apprenticeship Program since the pilot phase began in December 1999. Apprentice Helen Delong signed on to the Program when it first began and Tabatha Hebert joined her in 2000. Both received their Certificate of Completion in 2003.

Tabatha writes, of her relationship with her former on site supervisor, Heather Brown, “Heather noticed I am a visual learner, so she writes things out, for reminders with telling me verbally. I feel in doing this, Heather is going above and beyond what is required of her as a supervisor.”
