On any given day, there are many families accessing child care assistance in order to better their lives and become self sufficient. In order to serve those families, we rely on you – the child care providers who partner with us, to make a difference in helping us improve the lives of those we serve.
This is where you will learn about the Child Care Subsidy Program administered by the Department of Social Services (DSS) and assess your knowledge of the program. For a review of the material covered, you may download this PDF version of Child Care Subsidy Orientation and read the content before taking the orientation.
Note: This training is applicable towards one (1) clock hour with the Department of Health and Senior Services, Section for Child Care Regulation.
