UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - South Dakota - post

South Dakota does not utilize a formal process for training approval. Courses offered by ChildCareEd may be accepted by the South Dakota Department of Social Services, Child Care Services Office. ChildCareEd is an IACET accredited organization that provides CEUs for all of our online self-paced training courses.

H&H Child Care Training (ChildCareEd) currently offers the 120 hours of CDA coursework for Infant and Toddler, Preschool, and Family Child Care. The 120-hour credentials currently offer 12 CEUs for each course. Our online training is designed to fulfill the CDA requirement for 120 hours of formal education in specific child-care competency areas. We at H&H Child Care Training (ChildCareEd) believe that our CDA courses are nationally accepted in all states: please refer to your child care licensing agency (linked at the bottom of this page) for any additional requirements.
