Operating a successful childcare and early education business requires strong business and management skills. CCR&R offers technical assistance and classes to help caregivers develop skills in recordkeeping, contracts and policies, understanding regulations, liability and much more.

Just the Facts (Formerly called LEARN) is a class that helps caregivers understand the resources that CCR&R and other agencies have to help operate a successful business. It is also a pre-requisite to attend ChildNet classes.

Business Basics is a 4-hour hands-on course specifically for home providers. It covers record-keeping, taxes, contracts and policies. Each participant takes home a supply of organizational materials and books. Business Basics is a pre-requisite for home providers who want to attend Beyond Business Basics.

Beyond Business Basics expands on the knowledge learned in the Business Basics class. This 32-hour series has been expanded to include center and preschool staff. The series is divided into two parts. Each part consists of eight, two-hour classes.

All providers gain knowledge and insight from attending training and are welcome in all classes that interest them, no matter what their experience is.

Pre-registration is required for all classes

Participants are expected to attend all classes. You may not begin after the second class of a series, but you may make up a class in another location. Registration fees to reserve your space are due at least one week before the classes start. Please be respectful and cancel your reservation if you cannot attend, so people on the waiting list can take your place. Refunds will not be given unless you call twenty-four hours in advance to cancel your reservation. Closing time of all classes is approximate.
