Announcing changes to
the names of the courses
required to meet the entry-level training requirements
Effective Sept 1, 2003, the names of the DHFS
approved non credit courses that will meet the entry level training requirements
under HFS 46 (Licensing Rules for Group Day Care Centers) and HFS 45 (Licensing
Rules for Family Day Care Centers) have changed.
The new names for the courses are as follows:
Introduction
to the Child Care Profession
has replaced Early Childhood 1
Skills and
Strategies for the Child Care Teacher
has replaced Early Childhood 2
Fundamentals
of Infant and Toddler Care
has replaced Infant/Toddler
Two courses entitled Fundamentals of Family Child Care and Introduction to the Child Care Profession are needed to meet
the requirements for a licensed family child care provider (formerly one course
entitled Family Day Care met the requirement).
All agencies approved to offer DHFS approved
entry level courses, including technical colleges, began using the new names on
courses beginning after Sept 1, 2003. Courses
completed (or started) prior to Sept 1, 2003 will continue to be accepted to
meet the entry level training requirements.
