Child Care Certification Policy Manual
As mentioned earlier in this module Wisconsin Stats. 48.651 and DCF 202.08(1)(b)5 requires all child care providers to complete qualifying professional development annually.
The following information is offered as guidance and is similar to commentary offered by BECR to licensed programs.
Hours spent in observation in another early care / education program which results in college credits may not be counted, but the college credit may count.
Although time spent doing research in the child development associate credential (CDA) process can be counted towards continuing education, time spent assembling the portfolio in the CDA process does not count toward continuing education.
