MC Early Childhood Education Programs: CDA, 1 Year, AAS, and AAT

Montgomery College Counselors,

I hope that everyone is doing well!  My name is Sonia Pruneda-Hernandez and I am the Collegewide Chair for Early Childhood Education Programs.  To better assist you with direct contact information for the Montgomery College Early Childhood Programs, I am sending out the attached flyer with contact information.  The MC Early Childhood Programs supports all early childhood educators with advising for the CDA, 1 Year Certificate, AAS, and AAT.  We also support early childhood education students with pathways from noncredit to credit.  

I am also reaching out with important scholarship information:  If you are advising or know of any students that work in a licensed *early childhood education program, please invite them to attend the first session of MC Early Childhood Education Summer Series: Voices of Early Childhood Practitioners tonight at 7:00 pm.  The second hour of the summer series session will be a review of the MC ECE Pathway Scholarship criteria and application process.  The ECE Pathway Scholarship covers full tuition for early childhood educators working in Montgomery County that meet the criteria and follow the application process.  The scholarship will cover a pathway from ESL, AELP, Basic Math, or CDA to credit side 1 Year Cert, AAS, or AAT. 

The scholarship is available to students on credit and noncredit side beginning fall 2020.

*Early childhood education programs = child care centers, family child care, before/after school-age programs, and some early childhood programs based in MCPS.   Early childhood education does not include Nanny or Au Pair.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.

Be well and stay safe,

Professor Sonia Pruneda-Hernandez, M.S. Ed.
