The new 2025 package will be available to purchase January 2, 2025.
This ONLINE training package has 24 clock hours of training. It can be used to fulfill the 24 clock hours of training needed to meet the annual training requirement for Caregivers at a “Great Start to Quality” Michigan center. We chose material that covers 8 Professional Development (PD) Indicators per the Michigan Department of Education / Great Start to QUality. We take the guesswork out of selecting materials and enter completed Packages in MiRegistry for you! Please note: The PD8 Indicator Topic (for Admin/Director/School-age Site Supervisor/Owner) is not included in this package. This course is auto-corrected and self-paced, Directors/Trainers save time because the PC and mobile-friendly ONLINE platform does everything for them!
