The Center for Child Care Career Development (http://www.sc-ccccd.net/) administers a credentialing and career development system for South Carolina in collaboration with the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, the South Carolina Department of Social Services and the South Carolina Office of First Steps. The Center's mission is to improve the quality of all early childhood programs in the state through the professional development of the teachers/caregivers. Research has shown that teacher’s education and training are the most important indicators of classroom quality for young children.
