Description

The Center for Early Childhood Professional Development reflects Oklahoma's commitment to quality child care. Created using federal child development block grant funds, the Center supports the individuals who work in licensed child care settings in Oklahoma. The settings include family child care homes, child care centers and Head Start programs. Support is given to achieve professional growth for teachers and directors as they work toward success in the Reaching for the Stars tiered reimbursement program. The tiered reimbursement program enables programs that seek two-star or three-star status to receive a higher reimbursement rate for children whose families receive child care assistance through the State of Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS). CECPD operates on a grant from the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Oklahoma Child Care Services and operates under the auspices of the University of Oklahoma's College of Continuing Education. The Oklahoma Early Childhood Professional Development Council serves as an advisory body to the Center and consists of several work groups that provide guidance and assistance for training, director's credential, school-age credential, compensation, articulation career development, model observation sites and literacy.
