They also need to understand tuition, fees and payment structures.

Professional Development
As a child care provider in Montana you must attend at least sixteen hours of professional development each year. Child Care Resources offers classroom training and online training in a wide range of topics and levels to meet your needs.
We will be conducting some classroom training through Zoom and some in person. Please take note of the classroom location when signing up for a course. When taking a Zoom class, We ask that you use the video feature with your camera on Zoom trainings to replicate the classroom environment and provide an interactive experience for all. Please contact the instructor if you need assistance or require a practice session before the actual class. For in person classroom trainings, vaccinated individuals will not be required to wear a face mask. Unvaccinated individuals are asked to wear a face mask for their safety and the safety of others.
