Not yet. At many colleges and universities, the second term of the fall semester begins in mid-October, giving you another opportunity to take that next step toward your educational and career goals. Maybe you’ve been thinking about earning your CDA. Maybe you’re ready to start working toward an associate or bachelor’s degree. Or maybe you simply want to take a class that will strengthen your skills and help you grow as an early childhood professional. Now is the time to take that first step. Change can be frightening. Starting something new can bring questions, uncertainty, and even a little self-doubt. But change is also how we grow.
