Early Childhood Day at the Legislature 2002 brought supervisors of child care apprentices to the State Capital for formal recognition of their work. The 1st year of the VT Child Care Apprenticeship Program saw over 25 supervisors successfully complete college level training in Mentoring, which includes Supervision and Leadership skills. Champlain College awarded 3 college credits for each successful completion of this required course.
