NCCA members have long recognized the important relationship between well educated, professional teachers and directors and their ability to offer high quality programs for young children. That is why NCCA is committed to providing its members relevant, targeted, well-designed continuing education. Who is better equipped to provide educational programming for center-based staff than their own professional association? Here is a sample of the professional development offered by NCCA:
-
The National Administrator Credential (NAC). The NAC is a prestigious award for directors who successfully complete a five-day, comprehensive course focusing on administrative responsibilities.
-
The Certified Childcare Professional (CCP). The CCP is a credential earned by teachers who want to demonstrate their knowledge of early childhood development and their skills in working with young children.
