Do you have trouble finding the time to attend seminars and classes? Between work, family, and friends, your days are already packed. That’s where the Early Childhood News Professional Development Program can help. Because the program consists of articles and quizzes right in Early Childhood News magazine, you can take the program with you wherever you go. You can earn CEUs and training hours while on the bus, at home, or even while the children at your center are napping. What could be more convenient?

Here’s how it works...
You read the two or three designated Professional Development articles in each issue of Early Childhood News magazine. In every other issue of the magazine answer the multiple choice/short answer application quiz which is included right in the magazine. If you score 80% or more on a quiz, you earn one continuing education unit (CEU) from the University of Wisconsin-Stout—one of the most respected universities in the United States for early childhood development. Quizzes are graded by early childhood experts at the university. Each CEU earned is equal to ten hours of training! After earning three CEUs within a 12-month period, you will receive a Professional Development Certificate from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. That’s a total of three CEUs and 30 training hours within a 12-month period!
