Kristen Ryan- CDA Graduate and Toddler Teacher at the RFRC
Kristen is a recent graduate of CEO’s CDA (Child Development Associate) Certification course, and a Toddler Teacher at the Rensselaer Family Resource Center. She was nice enough to tell us about her experience going through the training.
Kristen started at CEO in May 2022. From May to August, Kristen was in the training program with a few other trainees and the CEO instructor, Casey Caldwell. From August through December, Kristen worked on earning her needed hours for final certification.
“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher,” says Kristen. “It’s something I came back to a little later in life. I went to college to be a teacher, but then I had my own kids and was home with them until 2015. I had a few other jobs, including working at Albany Med after that, and then found my way to CEO.”
