Arizona Child Care Training and Courses

The state of Arizona has no formal training approval process, at this time. Based on the definition of training in Article 1, Section R9-5-101 of the Arizona Administrative Code and Arizona Revised Statutes for Child Care Facilities, ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) training may be accepted to meet annual in-service training requirements established by the Arizona Division of Licensing Services, Office of Child Care Licensing. For additional information regarding the acceptance of CCEI’s coursework in Arizona, visit Arizona Child Care Licensing or contact the Office of Child Care Licensing at 602.364.2539.

CCEI is an approved Training Sponsoring Agency with the Arizona Early Childhood Workforce Registry. For more information contact the registry at info@thearizonaregistry.org.  As such, CCEI is approved to automatically transmit course completions directly to the Arizona Early Childhood Workforce Registry and does so nightly.  In addition, some of CCEI’s courses meet the pre-service and ongoing training requirements of DES.  Please see the AZ Registry training calendar in the appropriate category for a list of these courses. 

CCEI is an approved training partner by the Council for Professional Recognition (the Council) and coursework can be used to fulfill the training requirements needed to obtain the National CDA Credential in English and Spanish.
