Director Qualifications – pg. 13
Similar to what the Department of Social Service and the Department of Education has experienced lately, child care centers are finding it increasingly difficult to find qualified staff. We support expanding the limited pool of applicants. VCCA requests that directors have experience, plus one of the following education qualifications, in order, to meet the director requirements:
BA/BS Degree in any field, child related courses preferred, not required
Associates Degree in any field, child related courses preferred, not required
12 College Credits in child related subject matter without condition
CDA without condition
This will allow us to meet the demands and industry, where it is, providing administrative leadership necessary to run a successful child day program.
