CHILD CARE SUPPORT NETWORK GENERAL INFO
At the request of a social service agency in Florida that lamented the lack of a convenient and inexpensive training for child care providers, in January 2007 Impact launched the Child Care Support Network (CCSN), a training for child care (e.g. daycare) providers.
CCSN offers practical advice on a wide variety of child care topics, including language development, cultural and racial diversity, special needs, and various health and safety issues. Noted experts in child care often cover topics.
CCSN has approximately 500 member agencies that distribute the trainings to more than 5,000 child care providers nationwide. The following are some of the reasons why the tests are so popular:
What is CCSN Training? All CCSN trainings are printed and delivered by mail. Staff reads through the training, completes a comprehension test, and a wordsearch. Our 2-Hr Training features an additional interactive component, which is especially beneficial for staff interaction.
How it works: Child care providers can complete the Test at their convenience. They read the three-page article, answer the questions, and turn it in to their supervisor. Participating CCSN child care agencies, in turn, can then credit the child care provider with one or two hours of training each month and then issue a certificate of completion to the child care employee.
