Does the specific training curriculum or trainer need to be approved?
Yes and no. An approved curriculum must be used for the health and safety training of new family day care and group family day care providers. In addition, individual trainers are certified to conduct the Health and Safety training. For training used to meet the other training requirements, neither the curriculum nor the trainer needs to be approved in order for the training to “count” toward training requirements. As a professional, it is your responsibility to ensure that the training you offer meets the needs of providers and helps them improve the quality of care they provide to the children and families in their program. Offering training just to help providers “get the hours” does a disservice to the children in their care and is a poor use of the providers’ limited time.
