Hello Early Educators! It has been a while since I have heard from some of you! Let me know who has completed their CDA test/observation. How did it go? Sharing your experience can help other members of the community.

Video trainings can be found under the Classroom Tab. Videos on: Writing your Philosophy Statement; Writing Competency Statements; Review of Resources for Binder, have all been uploaded! Start watching them! More to come!
