Training Policies

The following policies have been developed by the Training Department at Child Care Connections to help facilitate the registration process.

1.       Registration forms for any Child Care Connections training will be processed as they are received.  Class size is always limited, depending on the size of the training space or the request of the trainer.  Registrations can be submitted through the mail to the above address or via fax to 396-6581.  Unfortunately, we cannot accept registrations over the phone.  As trainings fill quickly, be sure to submit registration forms as soon as possible in order to secure enrollment.

2.       Registration forms must be received at Child Care Connections at least 3 business days prior to the start of the training.  For example, if a training is to begin on Monday, registration must arrive at Child Care Connections by 4:30 pm on Wednesday.  Registrations received after their deadline will be subject to an additional $5 fee per person, if space is available in the training.  Preparation for training often begins several days in advance.  Registrations received at the last minute create additional work for the staff, as we must plan for many trainings each week.

3.       Child Care Connections assumes that each participant will attend all sessions for which they are registered.  Special arrangements must be made for planned absences.  (Exceptions may be made for illness or other emergencies.)

4.       Child Care Connections requires notice of at least 5 business days if a participant is not able to attend a training.  Cancellations made less than 5 business days before the training will result in forfeiture of the registration fee.  Many trainings fill quickly and have a waiting list.  Child Care Connections strives to accommodate all participants who register for each training.  With ample notice, we are able to notify a participant on the waiting list.  Cancellations made with sufficient notice will be eligible for a refund of the registration fee.  Child Care Connections will not give “credit” for unattended training.

5.       MAKE-UP POLICY - FOR 30 HOUR TRAININGS ONLY:  Participants may make up 3 missed hours from each 30 hour training by completing a make-up assignment given by the trainer.  Each participant may only complete one make-up assignment to equal 3 hours of training, regardless of the number of hours missed.  MAKE-UP ASSIGNMENTS MAY ONLY BE SUBMITTED FOR THE FOLLOWING TRAININGS:

• CARING FOR INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND THEIR FAMILIES

• PRESCHOOL DEVELOPMENT IN CENTER-BASED CARE

• PRESCHOOL DEVELOPMENT IN FAMILY CHILD CARE SETTINGS

• WORKING WITH SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN AND YOUTH

• INCLUSIVE CHILD CARE
