Who Needs North Dakota Child Care Training?

Whether you’re:

• A child care center staff member
• A preschool or school-age program employee
• An in-home child care provider
• A supervisor or director
• Working toward a CDA Credential
• Logging hours in the Early Childhood Workforce Registry

ChildCareEd provides approved training that satisfies North Dakota’s annual requirements. However, North Dakota requires that preservice training, Safe Sleep/SIDS training and Mandated Reporter training be completed through the State of North Dakota only. ChildCareEd does not provide these state-specific preservice courses.

All other annual, ongoing, and professional development training hours may be completed through ChildCareEd.
