West Central Child Care Connection offers over 100 presenter/instructor led training and professional development opportunities for child care providers. Providers do need to call to register at 800-782-7318 or can email me at sharon@wcccc.com. Trainings are either free or have a very small registration fee. You are welcome to view and print a PDF version of the entire Training Calendar.
West Central Child Care Connection offers self-studies for checkout from our office. Each self-study contains a video and questions for you to complete to confirm understanding of the material presented. Providers will submit their self-study materials after viewing the video and upon successful completion of the questions, will earn two DCFS contact hours. Providers have one month to complete the self-study and submit it to be approved. Self-studies are available in DVD and VHS formats. There is a $10.00 fee (plus $20.00 deposit for unlicensed providers) per person for each self-study. Any questions or requests can be made by calling our office at 800-782-7318 or by email at Librarian@wcccc.com. Please click on the self-study link above to see our selection.
There are online trainings that are accepted by DCFS as well. These trainings are useful if you are obtaining hours for a CDA or applying to become a licensed provider. Some of the links are free and some do charge a fee to complete the course. We encourage you to attend "live" trainings which are beneficial for a variety of reasons: more personal interaction, networking with others, and question and answer opportunities. However we know that sometimes they are not an option. Click on the online trainings link above to view some online choices.
West Central Child Care Connection serves nine counties in West Central Illinois. There are wonderful training opportunties outside of our nine county region. We have listed a few that may qualify for Professional Development Assistance for registration and possibly more.
