Credentials from other states do not automatically transfer to Delaware, as there is no reciprocity for Early Childhood qualifications between states. Your education and experience will need to be submitted to our office and reviewed. You will first need to create an EDAccess account – it is through this account that you will apply for certifications, upload documents, and view certifications/credentials. You can find more information about how to do that here: Credentialing Application – DEEDS – Delaware Department of Education.
Once you have been approved and have access to your EdAccess account, you can login and apply for an Early Childhood certification. Click Educator Dashboard User Guide to assist you with applying.
Pages 1-10 have information about how to apply for Early Learning Credentials. There is also other information included throughout the document on how to view applications, respond to deficiencies, print certificates, etc.
