Each credential adds a new layer and level to the skills, knowledge and disposition of the early care and education professional. The Administrator Credential provides a broad base of theory to facilitate operation and management of an early childhood program. The Leadership Credential further enhances the skills to inspire higher levels of quality and to create the action for change. The Program Development Credential (PDC) promotes the development of a high-quality learning environment.
The PDC consists of a 12-credit sequence of four courses. The Registry, Wisconsin's professional recognition system, awards the credential after successful completion of all four courses and the Registry's commissioning process. Along with the credential, earn a certificate in Early Childhood Program Development from UWM's School of Continuing Education.
Courses can be taken independently and with or without the intention of completing the four-course series.
