New Provider Training
4Cs offers an intensive training course to anyone who is interested in providing child care in their home. The classes are on Thursdays from 9am - 3pm in Spanish, and Thursday evenings from 6pm - 9pm in English. The new provider training is offered three times a year Fall, Winter and Spring. (See calendar for next start date) During the training participants will learn all of the steps involved in starting up a child care business, and be assisted with the process (including fingerprinting). The training in Spanish includes : an orientation from Community Care Licensing, Health & Safety, CPR, and First Aid taught by an authorized EMSA approved agency, 12 hours of Early Childhood Education with an emphasis on children ages 0-3 years, a home tour to a licensed provider, and a presentation by a provider discussing the business of child care, curriculum ideas, working with children with special needs. It also includes an introduction to support services provided by 4Cs including our Food Program, Resource & Toy Lending Library, referral services, and technical assistance. By the end of the training the Spanish speaking participants are ready to submit their application to Community Care Licensing in order to receive their license and begin providing care. The training on Thursday evenings in English includes all of the above except for the Community Care Licensing orientation and Health & Safety/CPR courses. For the English section you can work with our Resource Specialist to coordinate these other trainings to fit your personal schedule.
