Child Care Training Programs

Chesapeake College provides comprehensive child care training services including certification courses, on-site training, training sessions that meet MSDE’s child care licensing requirements, and technical assistance (mentoring) on child-focused issues.
Other programs managed by the Chesapeake College include:

• Project Right Steps, a free program to assist parents and child care providers who are dealing with children ages birth through six who have “challenging behaviors”.

• The Child Care Career and Professional Development Fund (CCCPDF) that provides scholarship funds for qualified child care providers who are seeking their Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education. The College provides a counselor who can assist providers who are approved for this scholarship fund.
