Do you have a playful spirit and enjoy working with young children? Are you curious about how children grow and learn? Then working in childcare or early childhood education may be the career for you!

KBOCC offers both CDA credential preparation and an Associate of Applied Science degree in Early Childhood Education. Students who start the CDA program can use their earned credits as the foundation for an Associate of Applied Science degree.
 

CDA preparation is designed to meet the educational requirements of the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, a national certification of the Council of Professional Recognition.  At KBOCC, you can complete the coursework requirements for one, two, or three CDA credentials and receive expert guidance in completing your classroom contact hours, compiling your portfolio, and preparing for the CDA exam.
 

KBOCC offers you advantages that you won’t find elsewhere, including:

•  A department chair and instructor with experience in Early Childhood settings

•  Small, engaging classes that emphasize practical application of content knowledge

•  Instructors who recognize and value the uniqueness of each student

•  A college community that celebrates and respects cultural diversity with an emphasis on Native American culture
