Introduction to the School-Age Care Profession
This course provides entry-level knowledge and skills for individuals as they begin to or intend to care for school-age children in group child care settings. This course provides a foundation for the importance of out-of-school time programs and explores the philosophy and goals for high-quality programs. It examines and identifies the rules and regulations governing group child care for school-age children and the responsibilities of the providers.
Offered in partnership with the Wisconsin Afterschool Network, this course fulfills the first introductory noncredit course requirements for a lead position (teacher) in a school-age program as specified in DCF Chapter 251 for group child care in Wisconsin’s Administrative Code as it applies to school-age care.
We are happy to offer this class free to the first 300 registrants courtesy of the Wisconsin Afterschool Network.
