Program helps credential state child care administrators

This summer UW–Madison will offer the first in a series of six courses designed to prepare participants to receive a credential as a child care administrator.

The one-week class, Aug. 1-6, provides an overview of the roles and responsibilities of administrators of various early child care and education programs and the groups with whom they have relationships.

The emphasis will be on quality care. Topics include diversity in models of early care, child growth and development principles, anti-bias policies and practices, collaborating with community agencies, ethical issues, advocacy and more. The course can be taken for college credit.
