Spring is finally here and the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) has been kept busy supporting dedicated child care providers - like you - to offer safe and healthy places for children to learn, grow and play.
This email news update focuses on the required health and safety training, which staff must complete by September 2017. Most of the training can be completed for free online, so why wait to get started?
Thank you for the great work you do for children and their families!
Sincerely,
Tanya Vasquez, Director OCDEL Bureau of Certification
