Preschool Director Certificate Program?

Question

I already have my B.S. in child and family development, i really want to get a job as a director but i need either some courses in administration or a certificate, does anyone know of a program that offers it?

Answer 1

I don't know how comfortable you are with on-line studies, but there is an on-line Director's Credential program at these two locations:

www.clarion.edu

www.northampton.edu

Each of them have administrative courses built into the credential.

Answer 2

You should have taken a Child Development Administration course already, but if you haven't your local Community college should offer them. Go and talk to a counselor to see. Your BS should be more than enough along with some experience. Computer experience and some bookkeeping experience is important though in some schools it is not necessary if they have their own bookkeeper and an Assistant Director to do the mundane work.
