Child Care Training Information by State
Each U.S. state has licensing regulations governing early childhood care and education. These regulations cover types of childcare settings and facilities, staff/child ratios, initial requirements, preservice and in-service training, and many other aspects of childcare. On the following pages we have compiled information on training requirements, licensing agencies, and the benefits of the CDA credential for all 50 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

“I love Care Courses. They are convenient to complete on your own time, you can mark where you were and the program is easy to navigate. Thank you for providing these professional development opportunities for teachers on such an amazing platform. I appreciate your respect for teachers time to complete professional development training at home, our skills allow us to become stronger professionals and give back to the children for which we serve.”

“Everything has gone well with our Care Courses order. Several of our staff, including myself, have completed multiple training courses on your site, which has been very helpful for our staff. With our childcare license here in PA we are required to get training so, your courses have helped us accomplish that. We received a catalog in the mail and I’m glad we did!”
