Met to discuss concerns from both agencies about revisions to the Child Development Permit – led to the creation of a joint public statement
Key Statements of Agreement
The concept of “grandfathering” is not clear – Is it life long if it is kept active? If not active, will permit holders then need to meet the new standards, or if you move to the next level do you have to complete all requirements for that level?
Align all existing standards and competencies in ECE so it is clear
Tie money to the revisions; be an advocate in multiple areas
