Never Too Early (NTE) trainings are grounded in literacy and are literature-based, but each also delves deeply into the content area introduced. All trainings are open to early educators and childcare providers who work with children from birth to age eight. Each course consists of virtual sessions and work in the virtual classroom, or projects completed in classrooms with children. Participants receive a free set of books after the first session.
Northern Lights at CCV offers professional development credit hours for each of the NTE courses.
For all trainings offered through Northern Lights, go to the link below. It’s possible to filter courses by “Vermont Humanities.”

This online class will explore strategies for effectively managing both children and caregivers during the holiday season, which is often marked by media overload, shopping distractions, and increased sugar consumption. Educators can create an environment of stability and comfort during this busy time.
Our seasonal “Words in the Woods” program allows Vermonters and visitors to enjoy our state’s natural beauty while listening to and reading literature in the outdoors.
Humanities Camps are filled with reading and writing projects, field trips, and outdoor activities.
We won a 2020 Schwartz Prize for best public humanities programming in the U.S. for Vermont Reads 2019: “March: Book One.”
We supported the Chandler Center for the Arts’ Global Connections Youth Outreach program, which highlights artists from around the world.
Our free public events help bring the power of the humanities to communities across Vermont.
