A leveled, mastery-based library mapped to the national early-childhood career ladder and the six NAEYC standards. Pass each tier's scenario exam to unlock the next.
Tier 1 · Foundations
≈ Aide / Assistant Teacher · NAEYC ECE ISafety and supervision basics, routines and transitions, recognizing developmental milestones, and basic positive guidance.
Positive Guidance & Daily Routines
Cleanup time. One child won't stop building; a younger child nearby is getting upset. Guide the moment without losing the room.

Tier 2 · Practitioner
≈ Teacher / Associate Teacher · NAEYC ECE II LockedClassroom management, developmentally appropriate practice, behavior support, and family communication.
Classroom Management Simulator
The composite: a crying child, a block argument, and a drifting group — all at once. Triage with intention.
Behavior Support
A recurring biting incident. Move from reaction to a function-based, teaching plan.
Parent Communication
A worried parent at pickup. Hold the partnership while delivering a hard observation.
Tier 3 · Advanced

Watch, record, and infer — separating objective observation from judgment.
Tier 4 · Leadership
