WVU Extension faculty helping bridge child care gap in West Virginia
May 20, 2024
To address a shortage of child care providers in the Mountain State, West Virginia University Extension agents are helping train staff to work at child care centers, offering children a safe place to learn and grow.
The Apprenticeship for Child Development Specialist program — a collaboration between the West Virginia Legislature, WVU Extension and other key partners — is a statewide training program that builds a competent, sustained workforce to provide quality care and education to West Virginia children.
