CCAP Provider Training Requirements

CCAP Provider Training Requirements

As of January 1, 2023 license-exempt child care home providers* and license-exempt center providers** receiving payment for care provided through the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) are required to complete specific health and safety trainings. These requirements are in alignment with the requirement by the federal government that child care providers receiving payment through the federal Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) complete specific health and safety training; have current CPR/First Aid certification; and complete a minimum number of annual training hours.

*License-exempt child care home providers includes the primary care provider as well as their assistants/substitutes.

** License-exempt center staff includes directors, teachers, aides, and staff with access to children.
