CDA Club - A new Facebook Group for teachers working on CDA credentials and professional development (PD) specialists to work in a collaborative environment. One can get help with developing their CDA portfolio, use the Club for discussing questions and concerns with CDA classes, and more
Grants Page - You asked it and we obliged! A new resource is available from the ChildCareED home page. It is a light blue button with a money bag icon and labeled with the word "Grants." The web page will assist home providers, directors, teachers, and aides in finding financial assistance to support programs and activities. As information is gathered, it will be available by state. Just like the state table on the home page, one will be available to check funding in other states. Just click on the state and the page will display the new information.
Job Board - Our Job Board is going national! Day Care programs in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Washington DC, Florida, and Massachusetts have listed open positions. A broad range of positions are listed such as lead teachers, directors, aids, admins, etc. Full-time and part-time listings are welcome. There is a blue "Post a job" button under the page banner. Call the office if you are having trouble listing your position.
New Interactive Online Class Platform - We have been working hard on updating the online class platform. Classes are more interactive, provide encouragement, and are visually stimulating. Try out the new and improved class platform by signing up for our free class Creating the Natural Outdoor Classroom. You even earn CEUs by taking the class. To sign up later, look on our home page for the green button labeled "Try for Free!"
