Early Childhood Education

Interested in helping children reach their potential?

Steepletown offers a 12-month Early Childhood Educator Apprenticeship Program.

This apprenticeship model of training combines instruction-based learning with on-the-job training in the classroom. Apprentices will earn their Child Development Associates (CDA) credential either at GRCC or Vibrant Futures. The on-the-job training takes place at a child development center or preschool located in Grand Rapids for which an apprentice is paid.
