Patron
Patrons are churches or individuals who wish to demonstrate their support of early care and education by providing Membership Benefits to the staff of a child care program. Patrons also contribute funds to three different Scholarship Funds designed for teachers, children, and disaster relief.
Please consider becoming a Patron to the staff of a child care program. Your support will provide a child care program with benefits for administrator and teachers as well as enable the program to reallocate dollars that would have otherwise gone toward CDEA Memberships. Your generous support can remain anonymous but will never go unnoticed!
We would like to acknowledge the following Patrons for their generous support of early childhood programs and CDEA’s Scholarship Funds!
| Bronze Patrons | Silver Patrons | Gold Patrons | Platinum Patrons |
