NAEYC Update

Angele Seymour — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 21:08:01 +0000

Some of our teachers have completed another phase on their road to having Child Development Associates (CDA’s) earlier this week by having their first field observation! We will be sending out a parent questionnaire next week and plan to conduct another survey like we did in May in the next several months which will lead us into our next phase — Self Assessment. Looking forward, we will continue to provide quality professional development to our teachers with classes beginning in October. We hope to have two teachers receive their CDA credentials by the start of the new year!
