Council Representatives Trained in Germany

Vivienne Oxford, Manager, Early Childhood Education and Vilma Williams, as members of the Council training team, will be representing the Council at the AEYC Europe Conference to be held at the Military Air Base in Ramstein, Germany. Vivienne and Vilma will complete CDA Training and Military School Age Training (MSA) for Council Representatives, Advisors and Candidates serving in all the branches of the military who are located overseas.

In our last article on we reflected on "Functional Area 1 -- Safe". We said that ensuring children's safety is the primary responsibility of all teachers and caregivers of young children. This month, we focus on "Functional Area 2 -- Healthy". 

The Council is excited to announce that later this year we will release the newly-revised third edition of the landmark textbook Essentials for Child Development Associates Working with Young Children. The new Essentials will provide all of the most current research, information, ideas and strategies needed by entry-level early childhood professionals.  The textbook will be organized around each of the thirteen Functional Areas, along with new information about reflection, intentionality, observation, documentation and other key topics of interest to contemporary teachers and caregivers.
