Banner Lake Early Learning Center Teachers Earn Their CDA's

By Sarissa Portanova

Professional development is a priority at Banner Lake Early Learning Center. We employ a well-trained and educated teaching staff. We also provide ample time and opportunity for them to further their education, attend training, and earn credentials. Often, we are even able to help our staff with financial assistance to meet their educational goals. Six of our teachers have recently met the requirements to earn their Child Development Associate. The first step was a CDA fast track course in Orlando Florida. These teachers became dedicated and hardworking students to complete their training, pass their written assessments, and perform well for observations. Thank you, Mary, Alejandra, Yanina, Tess, Tiannea and Kaila, for your dedication and enthusiasm. Staff education is crucial for a high quality and successful early learning program. It is not an unusual event for us to celebrate educational milestones for our early learning staff. Many have already earned CDA’s, college degrees, and other credentials. We would also like to thank the Community Foundation of Martin and St Lucie Counties for making this possible with their generous support!
