Welcome to Atlas Training Center:  A Training and Consulting Program for Early Childhood Education

Our program goals are to contribute to early childhood education by:

• Offering training to new or experienced teachers in Early Childhood Education to meet the 120-hour requirement to prepare them to apply for the national CDA Credential. 
• Supporting teachers in moving from the CDA onto a professional path to develop as credentialed and degreed teachers.
• Supporting new program directors in effectively training their staff on best practices for working with individual children. 
  
• Facilitating conversations with teachers related to developing meaningful relationships and curriculum for children as well as involving parents in care.
