Welcome!

Welcome to the Early Childhood Education Professional Development Organization (ECE PDO) at Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC)! As one of two statewide Professional Development Organizations across Pennsylvania we support the early childhood education (ECE) workforce in Philadelphia and surrounding counties (Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery) while Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania operates in the Central, Northeast, Northwest and Southwest regions of the state.

In partnership with the Office of Child Development and Early Learning, we support direct access for the ECE workforce to pursue career pathways that lead to degrees or credentials. By coordinating with Early Learning Resource Centers to improve the quality of ECE programs, we address the existing barriers to degree attainment. Participants can choose between online, face-to-face, and hybrid options.
