Bucks
County continues to grow in professional resources for
early childhood educators. Probably our most outstanding
resources are the people committed to improving quality
early care and education and professional development
opportunities in Bucks County and in our region. BCAEYC
is actively involved both in providing resources for
professional development for its members and for the
broader community. Leaders are also active in
professional development efforts in Bucks County, Southeast
Pennsylvania, and in the state.

PDR/CBK:
Do you have a Professional Development Record?
Are you familiar with Pennsylvania's Core Body of Knowledge? The
CBK identifies the knowledge and skills practitioners should
have to enable them to meet the needs of children in
child care programs. The PDR is a tool that providers
can use to track their professional development. To
learn more or to download copies of these documents,
visit the PA Key website at www.pakeys.org.
BCAEYC has sponsored regional trainings for trainers
and for directors to learn more about these tools to
improve quality early care and education.
