The model for the Colorado Early Childhood Credentials provides a common system for all Colorado early childhood professionals to document and quantify their professional growth and accomplishments, and to define and advance their profession. Points are awarded across three areas: 1) Formal Education, 2) Ongoing Professional Development, and 3) Experience. Varying levels across all four areas are awarded points, and points are totaled across all areas, and 'extra points' are awarded in an additional area of Demonstration of Competencies. The total points place a professional within a level of designation (Levels I-VI).
