What Kansas licensing rules accept IACET CEUs?
Kansas child care licensing recognizes certain continuing-education units and training approvals; ChildCareEd issues IACET CEUs and provides documentation that many programs find acceptable for staff records. However, final acceptance for licensing or credentialing is determined by the Kansas Bureau of Child Care and Health Facilities (KDHE). To confirm whether a specific ChildCareEd course will be accepted for your role or license type, contact your KDHE licensing specialist and supply the course title, CEU amount, and certificate sample. Keep copies of: the course title, completion date, clock hours/CEUs, instructor name (if applicable), and any approval or certificate ID provided by the vendor.
Which ChildCareEd courses are commonly used by Kansas providers?
Some ChildCareEd trainings cover the topics KDHE and licensors typically require: health and safety, first aid/CPR, child growth and development, and director/administration training. Examples include:
- Creating Safe & Healthy Child Care Environments Buy Now $55.00 — health, exclusion criteria, environmental safety, and prevention practices.
- Pediatric RSV First Aid & CPR/AED Buy Now $115.00 — blended pediatric first aid/CPR with skills verification.
- CDA Family Child Care Credential (120-hour) Buy Now
$500.00$400.00 — for providers preparing the CDA; useful for professional development and portfolio support.
These courses illustrate the range of ChildCareEd offerings; depending on your license type, topic coverage and documented clock hours are crucial. If KDHE requires instructor-led training, verify whether the course delivery matches that requirement before relying on an online certificate.
How do subscriptions, certificates, and training records work?
Subscriptions provide unlimited access to qualifying online trainings and let you generate official completion certificates from your profile. For licensing reviews and audits, export or print certificates that show: the participant name, course title, date completed, number of CEUs/clock hours, and issuer signature or provider details. Keep digital copies in staff files and upload copies to any workforce registry or employer portal as required. If you need an instructor-led session or an expedited verification, contact ChildCareEd support and note the state requirement or voucher conditions.
How can I confirm a course will be accepted for my specific role or credential?
1) Check KDHE guidance first: licensing specialists can tell you whether they accept IACET CEUs for your role. 2) Provide course documentation: supply course title, syllabus or learning objectives, clock hours/CEUs, and a sample certificate. 3) When in doubt, request written confirmation (email) from KDHE or your licensing representative and retain that confirmation with staff files. 4) For credentialing (for example, CDA steps), verify both the credentialing body’s requirements and KDHE acceptance; training that supports a credential does not automatically change a regulatory qualification.
What if KDHE requires instructor-led or state‑approved training?
If KDHE or your licensing specialist requires instructor‑led training or a state‑approved provider, follow these practical steps: ask KDHE which delivery formats and approvals apply to your license type and age groups served; provide the licensing specialist with course details and request written confirmation that specifies whether online IACET CEUs, in‑person skills checks, or a particular trainer credential are required. If an in‑person skills verification is necessary, arrange an Instructor‑Led session through ChildCareEd’s Instructor‑Led option or contract a qualified trainer and document the trainer’s credentials. Keep all written confirmations and certificates in staff files to demonstrate compliance during licensing reviews.

Summary: What should Kansas providers do next?
1) Select trainings aligned to KDHE topics (health/safety, first aid/CPR, growth & development, director administration). 2) Enroll in ChildCareEd courses or a subscription to centralize certificates. 3) Prepare and retain course documentation and submit it to KDHE or your licensing specialist for confirmation. 4) When needed, request written confirmation from KDHE before relying on a course to satisfy a regulatory requirement. Doing these steps protects your program during audits and supports continuous professional growth.
