Scholarship

The WCCAA/Rosemary Troia Baker Scholarship

The Rosemary Troia Baker Scholarship is open to any member of the Wisconsin Child Care Administrators Association. The scholarship fund awards monies for the purpose of continuing education and training for child care administrative personnel. This training may be in the form of university level classes, technical school programs, educational conferences, or other types of continuing education, including classes for the child care administrators’ credential.

WCCAA recognizes that the role of the child care administrator is a challenging one and that center budgets often do not allow for continuing education beyond the classroom teachers’ needs. It is the belief of WCCAA that center administrators can best meet the needs of children when they have the resources to remain current in the field. WCCAA has chosen to establish this award in the name of long time member Rosemary Troia Baker, “Rosie”, because of her outstanding efforts to provide quality childcare for all families, regardless of income, as well as being a constant mentor to fellow administrators and the parents she served.

In 1998, WCCAA recognized Rosie with our annual administrator’s award. This scholarship, first awarded in 2000, continues our desire to express our thanks for her dedication to the children of Wisconsin.
