All Care Courses are accepted by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) towards the 10 clock hours
(or 1 CEU) of in-service training required for those who work in family child care homes, large family child care
homes and child care facilities/centers. This includes DCF training for directors, employees, operators, providers
and substitutes.
Care Courses are accepted for the 4.5 CEUs for renewal of Florida Staff Credentials which includes the renewal of
the Child Development Associate Credential, the Florida Birth through Five Child Care Credential, the Florida
School Age Child Care Credential, and the Florida Director’s Credential. Care Courses is an IACET-authorized
CEU Provider and all of our courses offer IACET CEUs. Learn more about how
Care Courses' IACET accredited courses are accepted for DCF training.
Using Care Courses to obtain a
National CDA
qualifies you for the Florida Child Care Staff Credential. A National CDA is equivalent to the Florida Child Care
Professional Credential (FCCPC) when applying for a Florida Staff Credential. Florida DCF defines the National CDA
as a
National Early Childhood Credential (NECC).
Once you obtain your National CDA, you may use Care Courses' discounted
CDA renewal sets
to renew your CDA and Florida Staff Credential.
