What ChildCareEd’s Wisconsin Approval (TSO #68895) Means

ChildCareEd is an officially recognized Training Sponsor Organization (TSO #68895) with the Wisconsin Registry, which verifies that our courses meet the training standards established by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF).

This approval confirms that:

• ChildCareEd courses are accepted for Wisconsin continuing education and in-service training requirements.
• Training may be used by staff in Group Child Care Centers, Family Child Care Centers, and Day Camps operating under DCF rules.
• Courses are recognized for required training across multiple job roles, including administrators, directors, teachers, assistant teachers, substitutes, volunteers, counselors, and food service personnel.

Because ChildCareEd is a Registry-approved Training Sponsor, all completed hours are accepted statewide and meet Wisconsin’s expectations for early childhood professional development.
