Who are you
looking for?

If you have experience working with infants, toddlers or preschoolers in a daycare setting but don’t have a degree, the apprenticeship program allows you the chance to earn a higher wage – and earn your degree or CDA credential as you go.

The apprenticeship program is also perfect for those who have a degree in another field, but want to make a difference in the lives of children through teaching. The program offers a cost-effective, hands-on path to career change.
