Professional Development
Professional development is an important part of a career in early childhood. 4C is committed to ensuring that working child care providers and teachers of young children have access to the most current research and techniques to provide high quality care. A full-time Education Director is available to assist child care providers with professional development and connect you with professional development sources and higher education opportunities.
One important professional development opportunity at 4C is Non Formal Child Development Associate (CDA) credential training. In less than a year you can get the CDA training you need. Classes are competency based, with no tests and no grades, and are held on Saturdays. Supported by TEACH, the out-of-pocket expense is only $100.00 and is payable in four payments. Payment may be made on-line.
In addition to Non Formal CDA training, 4C presents an extensive training calendar that includes more than 150 annual offerings, many with CEU opportunities. Channel 4C Podcast Educational Reviews are another way providers can earn training hours from 4C. Also, our Annual Spring Conference is well known for delivering nationally recognized early childhood presenters at a reasonable registration cost.
