We believe that supporting our educators is the first step to supporting our children and our future.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This starts with ensuring that early childhood educators have equal access to professional development opportunities and educational betterment, free of financial barriers that limit career growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of our scholarship program, tuition up to 13 credits per semester and some fees are covered without any employer requirements. Requirements include maintaining a 2.5 GPA, working in an OCCL licensed childcare setting, and participation in progress updates with the Scholarship Coordinator. Upon completion of a degree program, six months continuous employment in early child care and education is also required for completion stipends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
