What kind of training is required?
Once you become licensed as a foster parent, you are required to have a minimum of 50 hours annually per single parent and 30 hours annually for each person in a married couple. When parents complete training in excess of the minimum requirements in a given year, they may carry some of those hours over into the next year. Kornerstone offers many training opportunities throughout the year, with regular childcare provisions, to enable parents to meet their training requirements. Families may also earn hours by attending other accredited courses, taking courses online, college credit, or by reading a pre-approved book on a relevant topic. Kornerstone offers a resource library containing books and videos, as well.
