Child Care Basics is a Washington State 30-hour required training for Child Care Center and Family Home Child Care Staff. The training will be held on three Saturdays: March 16, March 30, and April 13. Participants must attend all three sessions to complete course.
Child Care Basics prepares future early learning professionals to care for children as they gain knowledge about child development. Participants will learn how to plan engaging activities, guide appropriate behavior, and maintain healthy environments. Interactive learning activities, video clips, discussion questions, and additional resources provide a variety of learning opportunities. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs and licensing requirements of both child care center staff and family home child care providers.
This is an in-person training with significant reading and homework requirements (approximately 9-12 hours).
