New Training Opportunity for Licensed Child Cares

The Penn State Extension Better Kid Care program has been providing distance-delivered professional development to early childhood practitioners for more than 20 years. Better Kid Care is now offering a new on demand system for online learning. Lessons are completed with a short assessment following each lesson. Participants must register and pay a $5.00 fee per lesson to receive professional development credits. After payment and successful completion of the lesson assessment, participants will be able to print a certificate of completion and/ or have it sent to their email address.


Licensed child care providers in Marion, Hamilton, Johnson, Lake and Allen counties may complete the lessons at no cost, as part of a Department of Defense funded project.
