Abstract
Training entry-level preschool educators with minimum education and experience can be done through an on-site mentoring program in childcare centers. This mentoring program involves a more experienced member of the education staff (Mentor) to work in close partnership with an experienced staff member (Protégé). This capstone examines how mentoring entry-level first year preschool educators can improve quality services to children and families. The project of this capstone research is a guidebook that demonstrates how to facilitate a Mentor/Protégé partnership involving preschool educators.
