The Early Care and Education program at CV Tech prepares students for careers in child care and early childhood education. Students gain hands-on experience through rotations at the on-site Child Development Center, accredited by the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC). The center serves children from six weeks to five years of age. As part of the program, students begin building a professional portfolio toward earning the nationally recognized Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential.
