FYI

Did you know that if you call for a police matter, fire or ambulance from a cell phone, the dispatcher cannot trace your address?  Only a land line telephone can be used to trace an address in an emergency. Children need to be taught their address in case they have to make the call to 911.

ONLINE TRAINING 
Are you tired at night after working with the children all day but still need your training hours?  
Did you know that the Center for Childcare Careers has an online training campus?  It is an online learning experience that allows self-paced training.  You log in to each course when it is convenient and you have up to one year to complete the training.  This is a great way to start training for the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential or renewal, as well as meet state licensing training hours.  For more information contact [email protected] or go to our website at 
and click on training academy to get started.

As we get more information on the CSEFEL trainings by Community Health Link, we will send it out .
