Use Healthy Childcare® as a training tool
for licensing required credit hours.

NEW! artworkIf your state's childcare licensing agency allows you to use training from Healthy Childcare® to apply as credit hours for your licensing requirements, use both the issue of Healthy Childcare® and the Questions & Answers to gauge what you have learned. Instructions for submitting proof of the training and a training certificate can be downloaded here. In Michigan, for example, centers and group childcare programs can log the in-service training from Healthy Childcare® in your ongoing training log and family/home providers can use the Healthy Childcare® Certificate to provide to your licensing representative. For childcare programs in other states, please check with your licensing agency before submitting the certificate.

Features

Each issue of Healthy Childcare® contains approximately one hour of "training." This website includes questions and answers which childcare programs can use to gauge information learned or relearned.
