Important updates regarding the Pre-Service Health and Safety Training Pathway
As of January 15, 2025, the new training pathway will be extended to 18 clock hours and will cover all the required topics from the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG).
In addition, it will include other key subjects required by CCDBG and chosen by DES to help you create safe and healthy environments, reduce child care expulsion and suspension, include children with special needs, and build strong connections with the children and families you serve.
