APRENDE apprentices work in a licensed or registered early childhood program.
Time working in the classroom counts toward the early childhood education courses. This reduces college classroom time and enables apprentices to complete their degrees more quickly, ideally in 2-3 years.
The apprenticeship integrates college course learning with apprentices’ experiences assisting in the early childhood classroom.
Apprentices receive extensive and ongoing support from early childhood faculty in their early childhood classrooms.
Apprentices receive ongoing mentorship from an early childhood lead teacher. This long-term mentorship experience ensures that apprentices are ready to become a lead teacher by the end of their apprenticeship.
