Core Competencies for Early Care and Education Professionals in Kansas and Missouri

The Core Competencies for Early Care and Education Professionals in Kansas and Missouri was written by professionals from across the two states to serve as a guide to improve teaching and learning. 

It is a valuable tool that you, as a child care professional, can use to assess level of knowledge and skill in each of the eight content areas, and identify specific areas of need for future professional development. 

Child Start regularly uses the Core Competencies for development of it's services and every training provided falls within one of the competencies. 

You can download a copy of the Core Compentencies at www.kaccrra.org or pick a copy up next time you are at our office. 

To aid you in finding internet resources to help you grow professionally, Child Start has created the Core Competency Resource Guide.  You will find links to internet resources for each content area.  If you have any suggestions on links to add, please do not hesitate to send them to myoung@ccaws.org.
