TRAINING FOR CHILD CARE PROVIDERS

The Child Care Resource Service provides an abundance of training opportunities to fullfill our commitment to the development of quality childcare.

"Getting Out," "Meeting new people,""Sharing ideas," are reasons to join with other child care professionals in trainings. Gatherings of child care providers impart a strength in numbers and generate a sense of support from the wealth of ideas and shared values.

 

TRAINING POLICIES & PROCEDURES

REGISTRATION for Training can be done by:

• Completing and returning the registration form enclosed in the training calendar.
• Obtaining a registration form from our website and returning it to the CCRS Office.
• Calling our agency (for free events only).
• Emailing our agency (for free events only).

Please Pre-Register (even if you are an association member) so that we can accommodate all participants with comfortable seating, training certificates, handouts and refreshments (if provided).

• CCRS does not limit the number of people who can register from a child care program. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• Generally, there needs to be 10 people registered to hold a workshop.
• Walk-ins are allowed to some but not all workshops, and...if you have not pre-registered , we cannot guarantee you handouts, notify you if a workshop has changed location or is canceled, or that the workshop has been closed for full enrollent.

Registration when payment required:
Payment (check, money order, or cash) for those events which are not free must be received in our office with a registration form by noon on the business day before the event, unless otherwise advertised, or approved by a CCRS training staff member.

Confirmation of your registration:
When you pre-register you will receive a confirmation postcard listing all the workshops for which you have signed up. Please hold onto it as it will serve as your only reminder.

TRAINING PARTICIPATION

• Late Arrivals: A fifteen (15) minute grace period will be given at all training sessions. This grace period begins at the advertised start time. Participants will not be allowed in the training after the 15 minute grace period.
• Early Departures: To receive a training certificate, participants must stay until the trainer is finished.

Participants must respect the learning space of all. Participant behavior that is disruptive to other participants will not be tolerated. The individual will be given the choice to stop the behavior or leave the workshop.
Our workshops are for adults. Children are not to be in attendance at training sessions (unless specifically invited or to be a part of the training).

CANCELLATION

• Participant cancellation: To receive credit or refund for training sessions with a fee, participants must cancel by noon on the business day prior to the training session.
• Some workshops have a waiting list: Please let us know if you are unable to attend so that someone else can take advantage of the training opportunity. We also want to use training funds wisely and prepare materials only for those who are coming.
• No-show registrants: Pre-registration fees may be non-refundable for no-show registrants. Registrants will not be charged or billed fees for non-attendance after training has occurred. No-show registrants will not be denied access to future trainings, as long as they follow other training policies and procedures.

AGENCY CANCELLATION

Workshop cancellation for low enrollment will be done no earlier than 5 business days and no later than 1 business day prior to the session. Decisions about workshops canceled for weather will be made by noon on the day of the training. We will make every effort to notify participants of the cancellation.

If at all possible, workshops canceled for weather or reasons other than low enrollment will be rescheduled at a later date. If CCRS cancels a training session, credit for another session or refund will be available if CCRS is the fiscal agency (i.e., the payment was made to the University of Illinois through Child Care Resource Service).

CERTIFICATES

• To receive a training certifcate, participants must stay until the trainer is finished.
• If you misplace or lose your certificate, replacement certificates must be issued at the request of the individual participant. Certificates will only be released to the individual who participated at the training session. At this time, there is no fee for this service.

TRANSCRIPTS

CCRS can issue a summary or transcript of trainings taken by an individual participant through our agency with our Data Tracking Program (DTP).

DTP transcripts may be issued at the request of an individual participant. To ensure confidentiality, transcripts are to be released to the individual. At this time, there is no fee for this service.
