The Council for Professional Recognition

The CDA is the best first step on a larger career ladder in the ECE field. 👟 As Congress continues to discuss ways to address the child care crisis, we are advocating that the CDA be embedded into federal regulations as the preferred entry-level credential for early childhood professionals.

#tbt to EELC last week when we screened a showing of "Starting at Zero" and enjoyed an FAQ session with our CEO Dr. Calvin E. Moore and Alabama State Representative Jeana Ross. "Starting at Zero" explores cutting-edge brain science to highlight the critical importance of early childhood learning in unlocking human potential. The film showcases the key elements of high-quality early education environments and experiences, and brings these concepts to life by diving into the development of Alabama's top-ranked state Pre-K program. This screening was a fan-favorite and left attendees inspired to implement some of Alabama's practices in their own state. Thank you to Rep. Jeana Ross for bringing her insights and excitement for ECE to EELC. What an amazing way to close the conference! . . . #EELC2024 #startingatzero #earlychildhoodeducation #brainscience #earlylearning #ECEleaders #prek #AlabamaPreK #qualityeducation #ECEinspiration #staterepresentative #ceo #educationforall #futureofeducation #ECEadvocacy #childdevelopment #stateprekprogram #earlyyears #ECEconference #film #screening #ece #cda #mycda #inspirational
