available in each region. Providers may access on-line training
calendars by visiting their local CCR&R agency’s web
address.

including Child Care Orientation Training and Providers Advance through Continuing Education series.
- Identifying educational supports such as grants,
scholarships, and recognition programs available in each region
of the state.

Child Care Orientation Training
Developed by the Department of Health and
Senior Services with input and assistance from experts across the
state, CCOT curriculum focuses on the following three components:
- CCOT: Developmentally Appropriate Practices I: Child Development,
- CCOT: Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect, and
- CCOT: Health, Environmental Safety, and Sanitation.
Instructors devote three hours to each of the three sections. Basic CCOT provides a wonderful opportunity for directors to ensure that staff members have the occasion to gather the basic knowledge needed to keep children safe and healthy.
Infant/Toddler Child Care Orientation Training
I/T CCOT is designed specifically for providers caring for children from birth through age three. The six-hour class builds upon the basic information obtained in the Basic Child Care Orientation Training.
School-Age Care Orientation Training
Developed with funding from the Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education, SA COT provides the foundation
for caregivers of school-age children. This six-hour training provides
participants with a basic knowledge of developmentally appropriate
practices, health and safety, scheduling, activities, parent involvement,
environments, and more.
Family Care Orientation Training
Family Child Care Orientation Training also builds upon the knowledge gained in Basic CCOT. This six-hour training explores the benefits and challenges of home-based care and working with multi-age groups.
Providers Advance through Continuing Education Training (PACE)
PACE is an advanced training series designed to expand upon the information acquired in CCOT. PACE consists of the following three-hour modules:
- PACE: Developmentally Appropriate Practices II: From Theory to Practice,
- PACE: Preventing Child Abuse by Strengthening Families, and
