Earn Continuing Education Units and Training Hours From the University of Wisconsin-Stout Through Early Childhood News!
![]()
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!
