These ONLINE training packages have 24 clock hours of Pre-Service training required for New Staff members in the first 90 days of employment. There is a package for New Staff members working in an Infant/Toddler setting and a package for New Staff members working in a Preschool/School-age classroom. The material we selected covers topics per the Texas Health and Human Services Commission which takes the guesswork out of it for you! This course is auto-corrected and all essay answers are corrected and verified by a Texas Certified Instructor. Directors/Trainers save time because the PC and mobile-friendly ONLINE platform does everything for them!
Note: New Staff members should print their initial certificate once they’ve completed the first 8 hours of training and pass a copy to their director for their records. This allows them to be included in the student-teacher ratio earlier than ever!
