CCR&R of NW Iowa Training Schedule

Iowa CCR&R is funded to offer core trainings to assure that providers are meeting minimum requirements. As funding allows, we try to offer diverse and higher-level trainings. Please contact your Training Specialist  for a list of additional trainings that may be available. Our Child Care Consultants assist with professional development planning and can make referrals to partner programs that will help providers in following their plans for higher education.   Exact times and dates for each training are available on the DHS Training Registry and are subject to change.  Please be advised that enrollment on the DHS Training Registry is required to receive credit for all trainings.  Iowa weather is unpredictable and may result in the cancellation of trainings. See here for the weather cancellation policy.
