Statewide Training & Technical Assistance

Statewide training is accessible through these programs to provide training and technical assistance for child care providers with varying levels of experience, education, and training. Training is designed to meet the needs of both family child care providers and child care center staff at locations close to their communities. Training includes, but is not limited to, courses in child health and safety, child development, and courses related to children with special needs. Training opportunities are coordinated with OCC's Maryland Child Care Credential Program.
