NCCA Is Your Resource

We have been talking a lot about our mission, advocacy and benefits recently. We are so proud of the rich history we have been able to demonstrate over 30 years and have so much more to do! This newsletter we would like to highlight some of our resources that may help you, your Centers, parents and Early Learning Education as a whole!

CONTINUING EDUCATION

Being a member of the National Child Care Association ($30 annually for individuals, $100 for Centers) provides 10% off your first time NECPA accreditation fees and NECPA national credentials. Since 1991, the NECPA has had a history of supporting the profession of early care and education by providing quality teacher and director credentials as well as encouraging the availability of high quality, affordable child care and preschool programs for children, families and communities. Please visit NECPA for more information about professional development opportunities and accreditation.
