What ChildCareEd’s Wyoming Approval Means

ChildCareEd is a Wyoming STARS-Approved Sponsor Agency, officially recognized by the Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS) for providing pre-service, annual training, infant/toddler training, and director-level professional development for licensed child care programs.

As an approved Sponsor Agency, ChildCareEd’s courses:

• Meet the Wyoming Child Care Licensing Rules (Chapter 4 & Chapter 5) for required health and safety topics and ongoing professional development.
• Are fully accepted for pre-service training, 32-hour biennial training requirements, infant and toddler specialized credits, and director/owner training requirements.

This ensures that every ChildCareEd course taken by Wyoming child care providers is state-recognized, regulation-aligned, and immediately creditable.
