VLS Foundational Courses were designed to align across tracks, which means a significant portion of each track's content is relevant for all direct care professionals. Crosswalks identify age-specific content, activities, and resources by lesson and can be used by staff members moving between age groups. For example, direct care professionals who move from an infant and toddler classroom to a preschool classroom should consult the Preschool Track to review the age-specific materials that reside in that track. Use this crosswalk as a guide and remember to work with your Training & Curriculum Specialist to help identify any content areas in the VLS where you may need extra review and support to be knowledgeable about best practices for all children in your care. We encourage Training & Curriculum Specialists to consult their Service's guidance regarding how to best use the crosswalk.
