Read Shannon’s Story below in her own words!

I worked for a public school for eight years. They had recently opened the three’s preschool program. As I was always the preschool backup personnel, I worked in the room while waiting for them to hire someone to work as the aide in the 3’s room. It was me! I fell in love! I knew the current teacher wasn’t planning to stay long, so I asked the admin what I needed to do to get the job as the lead teacher. I had tried to do it on my own, but I didn’t do well with that.
INAEYC has been an incredible opportunity. They make earning your CDA so easy. The class started in September and ended in December. I received my certificate by the end of January! I had a wonderful teacher who still keeps in touch with us. I am very grateful for INAEYC and this program!
