Self-Study Guidelines
- Child Care Home Providers are required to have 12 hours of
annual training each year.
- Center Based Providers are required to have 20 hours of annual
training each year.
- This training is in addition to CPR/First Aid Training,
and must be relevant to early childhood.
- The following information must be documented and
available for the licensing worker: date and time of training,
length of time, location, and type of training.
- When possible, more than one face-to-face training (e.g. workshops,
classes, conferences, etc.) where
the provider can interact with the instructor and others is
preferable. However, alternate means are acceptable within the
following restrictions:
Individualized Training Through Media
Books: 2 hours maximum credit per book
Video: 1 hour credit maximum per video
Internet: 2 hours maximum credit per topic
*Exceptions may be given by C.A.R.E.S. staff.
How Media Time will be Documented
- Written or Oral Report: The provider may select their
materials and write a brief report or give an oral report to
C.A.R.E.S. staff. Please be sure reports are legible (typed
or written in ink), have the date, your name and address as
well as the title of what you are reporting on. The report will
summarize the contents of the material and discuss at least
3 things learned from studying the material or three things
you can apply to what you are doing. Written and oral reports
do not have to be written or given in English. If reports are
presented or written in a language other than English, please
allow extra time for an interpreter before certificates are
issued.
- Study Guides: Some materials available through the
Resource Library or the series being shown on Alaska One have
Study Guides available. The provider may respond to the questions
in writing or give an oral report to C.A.R.E.S. staff. Study
Guides do not have to be written or given in English. If Study
Guides are presented or written in a language other than English,
please allow extra time for an interpreter before certificates
are issued.
- Documentation of Hours:
- The written report or the study guide needs to be turned
into C.A.R.E.S. staff for a certificate. This certificate
is your documentation of training. One certificate will
be issued for each material you study.
- Certificates can be issued usually within 2-3 working
days. They can be mailed to your home or you may pick them
up.
Reminder: This report is a reflection of
you and the work you do in your profession. Put in your best
effort!
