Professional Development Courses

Whether you operate a small home business, take care of a relative's child or work in a large child care center, we have something to offer you.  A selection of courses include: child development, caring for infants and toddlers, developing learning tools and teaching resources, planning learning activities for kids, working with children who have special needs, job duties of a child care administrator, and CPR and First Aid. Participants can also earn continuing education units (CEUs) or use training toward achieving the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential.  Classes are offered and fees vary depending on the length of the class and grant funding.  Classes are held at our Waterford office as well as online.
