The Child Care Aware® online training site will be closed from June 1 - July 5.  Here's what you need to know.
Q: I've heard online training is going away. Is that true?
A:  No, that's not true .
It will be unavailable the month of June because we need time to to move your information to our new database as we prepare to launch brand new online e-learning courses on July 5th.
Q: I re-license in July. How am I supposed to get my training completed?
A: Planning your training throughout the year is vitally important. 
We are working hard to get the message out that the online e-learning system will be down the month of June so you can plan ahead and take courses now.
Q: When I go to complete my training, the site is down. What should I do?
A: Call us at 1-800-997-8515, press 2.
Our current system is over a decade old, which is one of the reasons we are working hard to build a new online e-learning training system. When we receive calls that the site is down, we let our IT department know so the issue can be addressed. We appreciate your patience.
