What is NICCM?
What is NICCM?
NICCM stands for the National Institute of Child Care Management. NICCM was established in 1994 to enhance the effectiveness of childcare administrators through management and child development education. Our Mission isto provide Institute level training and mentoring support to early education business professionals. While colleges and universities can provide learning in a "school" environment, an institute can provide secondary learning that is provided by specialists in the field who have successfully worked in the area in which they are providing the training. Most professionals seek this type of interactive training.
Director's Credential Courses
Director's Credential Courses!
It is a proven fact that credentialed professionals command higher salaries. The value of a credential is three fold: 1) For those who don't possess a college degree - it provides an opportunity to receive recognition for educational acheivements. 2) For those who already possess a college degree - it provides an opportunity to receive traning and recognition that goes beyond a traditional "school" education. 3) And it provides everyone with an opportunity to "maintain" a high level of professionalism. This shows that you don't think your need for improvement ended when you got their degree or position.
Management Training
Management Training!
Statistics tell us that the average early education/child care center director will only last 3-5 years in their position. This statistic is due to the extreme lack of industry specific management and business training available. NICCM is at the forefront of bringing a high quality, interactive management and business training environment that is industry specific.
Whether you are new to the industry, new to management, or have been a childcare center director for 40 years, you are guaranteed to learn something that will help make you even more successful.
