ECE apprenticeship program – Earn while you learn in this innovative program that pairs on-the-job learning with coursework to earn a Child Development Associate (A 9-credit credential), an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. You’ll get on-site job coaching from a supportive supervisor to help you succeed. The benefit of this program is that course content is shorter because some of your learning is completed while you work.

TEACH program – Take classes, get paid release time to complete homework and help with tuition and books through this program that will pay for your CDA, associate’s or bachelor’s degree. While it takes a little longer to finish a degree, you can graduate debt free. You become eligible for funding after one year of employment. Additional program details are available at https://www.pacca.org/teach.php

At The Learning Lamp, we’re committed to creating a brighter future for the children we serve and YOU! Call today 814-262-0732 x301.

  • @thelearninglamp:The Employee Spotlight this week features Laura Strauch, a Preschool Teacher for The Learning Lamp’s child care center at Highlands Hospital in Connellsville. Laura has been working in childcare for almost 15 years, so it was a natural fit when she joined The Learning Lamp in June 2022. “I have had the opportunity to create my dream classroom that is a fun, yet educational atmosphere,” said Strauch. “Every day I learn something new about myself and how I can best teach each child in my care.” She is also adamant about passing on the knowledge she has learned to younger childcare workers at her center. “I recently finished my training to be a coach for the pre-apprenticeship program, and I’m very excited to be a part of it,” said Strauch. “I hope that sharing my experiences will benefit others! Thank you, Laura, for your dedication to child care and the children we serve! #employeespotlight #ouremployeesareawesome #awesomeemployees #greatemployees
