Virginia Child Care Classes

CCWA, in partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia, has offered child care provider training classes for more than 20 years to support the professional development needs of the early care and education workforce across the state.

Effective July 1, 2021, VDOE will offer two online classes. These classes are offered at no cost to all providers working in a Virginia child care program:

Child Abuse and Neglect: Recognition and Reporting
Health Screening for Child Care Professionals, also known as Daily Health Observation Training for Early Childhood Professionals (DHO)

This course meets the requirements for the daily health observation training required in the Standards for Licensed Child Day Centers - 8VAC20-780-245.K.1-5 and required in the Subsidy Program Vendor Requirements for Child Day Centers - 8VAC20-790-600.I.1-5.

All professionals who work in a Virginia early childhood program are encouraged to take both courses.
