Early Childhood Education

The CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network is comprised of Jewish Early Childhood Directors and Teachers. Membership in the CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network fulfills the requirement of all CDA(E) holders of membership in a professional organization. The CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network provides professional learning opportunities that fulfill the Florida State requirement of the annual 10 professional growth hours.

As a service for the CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network, the Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education has contracted with a State of Florida approved Master In-service Program to offer CEU’s for all professional development through our CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network. CEU’s articulate into credits for the State of Florida re-certification as well as all CDA (E) renewal requirements.

CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network membership cost and benefits for 2012-2013 consist of the following:

1. A nominal fee of $5.00 per teacher for CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network membership.

2. A fee of $125.00 per director/assistant director for CAJE Jewish Early Childhood Network membership.

**Please note: In order for a school to participate in professional hours – CEU’s / CDA and / or individual courses and workshops, the school must have a full JCECE membership (100% of the staff at $5 per teacher). Additional fees for courses and / or workshops will be determined at that time.**
