Child Care Certification Policy Manual
High school credit in child development (or child care) does not meet the entry-level training requirements unless the individual has completed the Assistant Child Care Teacher Certification (ACCT) course through a high school. In these cases the individual would have been issued a DPI completion certificate. The ACCT course is equivalent to the Introduction to the Child Care Profession and, therefore, also meets SIDS and AHT/SBS requirements, and CAN training. The individual would still need to complete Fundamentals of Family Child Care and CPR training.
For more information visit the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Career and Technical Education website or at the ACCT Skills Certificate Program website.
