Advancing The Profession

Professional Development

An excellent profession is built upon an exemplary system of professional development opportunities (PD) at every stage of the career path. Opportunities for PD lead to improvements in the knowledge, skills, practices of early childhood professionals and help to fulfill the vision of a profession recognized as vital – and one that performs a critical role in our society. As early childhood professionals, we must continually learn and change.  Regardless of our role in early childhood, professional development provides us with important education and training to develop the skills and competencies that improve delivery of services.

Public policy is influenced daily by people like you. Here are a few ways you can take action to advocate for early childhood care and the early childhood profession!
