ChildCare Education Institute® (CCEI), an online child care training course and certificate provider, is proud to announce the introduction of two online professional development programs approved by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (NYS OCFS) to fulfill annual training requirements.

The CCEI Online NY Professional Development Certificate I and Online NY Professional Development Certificate II programs of study each provide 15 clock hours of approved training required by employees and those responsible for developing, directing and supervising the daily activity programs for children in registered or group family day care, school-age child care and day care centers in the state of New York. The two online programs correlate to New York Training Topic Areas for Professional Development. Those who complete NY Professional Development Certificates I and II will satisfy the 30-hour New York mandated training requirement that must be completed every two (2) years. Both of these CCEI training programs are available through online enrollment at any time and grant IACET CEU credit upon successful completion.

“The feedback from these two new programs shows New York child care professionals are excited to have a convenient, affordable option to meet training requirements,” says Maria C. Taylor, President and CEO of CCEI. “CCEI looks forward to maintaining a close relationship with New York in order to best satisfy their needs for high-quality, custom course online training.”
