ECRC Benefits from PNC Foundation Grant

The University of Louisville has received a $190,000 grant from the PNC Foundation to help bolster the region’s early childhood education sector through an innovative workforce development program. The grant will enable UofL’s Early Childhood Research Center (ECRC) to implement a Child Development Associate (CDA) and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential program curriculum. The ECRC is working with Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) to potentially extend the curriculum to high school students in JCPS’ Early Childhood Academies.
