Become a Certified Facilitator and Learn How to Implement New Direction's Cutting-Edge Curriculum

The S.T.E.P.S. to Early Brain Development® Curriculum, developed by NDI, is available only through NDI’s Certified Facilitator Program. 

Through certification, facilitators are prepared to educate parents, childcare providers, teachers, social workers and others about early brain development in infants, toddlers and preschoolers to prepare them for later school success.  Studies show that parents and caregivers who learn about how a child’s brain actually develops change how they purposefully interact with children.

NDI’s Certified Facilitator Program teaches facilitators to help families and caregivers learn the best ways to interact with children when their brains are most malleable, from birth to five years old. The recommended interactions give a child the best start, at a time when the foundation for learning is established.

S.T.E.P.S.® material is based on the latest neuroscientific research, yet presented in terms that are easy to understand. Through certification, facilitators are prepared to help families and caregivers learn the best ways to interact with children. Concepts and methods are demonstrated in ways that are easy for parents and caregivers to grasp.
