“Cradling the Early Years Apprenticeship Program” – (CtEY-AP).
The CtEY-AP addresses the need to provide qualified, Early Childhood educators in our local schools. The program is a collaboration of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½’s Department of Early and Elementary Education (DEEE), Wicomico County Public Schools, and the Eastern Shore Child Care Resource Center.
The goal of the CtEY-AP is to assist paraprofessionals and childcare providers who already have an associate’s degree to earn a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education.
The CtEY-AP removes many of the existing barriers to certification for current Instructional Assistants. Participation in the CtEY-AP is completely free. The CtEP-AP provides the following free of charge: tuition, textbooks, course materials, flexible class schedules, exam and technology support, professional development activities, stipends for successful completion at the end of each semester, and more.
