Georgia Child Care Training and Courses

ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) is an Approved Sponsor Organization (TR-ASO-22) with the Georgia Professional Development System (GaPDS) for Early Childhood Educators. As such, all courses provided by CCEI are accepted by Georgia Bright from the start to meet annual, in-service training requirements. Additionally, CCEI adds course attendance regularly, which will appear as a checkmark on the student’s GaPDS account.

The listing of CCEI GaPDS-approved courses may be found by searching for ChildCare Education Education Institute under the Approved Sponsor Organization category on the GaPDS Approved Training site. Georgia does not accept CCEI training certificates for HLTH106: Fire Safety in the Early Care and Education Environment.
