The State of Colorado requires certification of all child care center directors and substitute directors by the State Department of Human Services.
Certification requires both experience working with young children and specific education.
Colorado State is proud to offer courses which satisfy the educational requirements via distance education. Other states may also have educational requirements. Please contact the appropriate agency in your area for further information. To offset the cost of child care classes, vouchers may be available to students in the child care profession. Students must request the discount when registering.
