childnet

	Southwest Iowa Child Care Resource & Referral

What is ChildNet?

ChildNet is a course that lays the foundation for operating a home childcare business. It consists of ten, 2½ hour classes. Experienced trainers will help you understand and create sound and ethical business practices; appropriate activities, routines, and guidance; nutrition; health and safety precautions; human relations and effective communication.

Throughout the series, you will receive materials that support your business, so it is important to pre-register so we have enough. To register, please call the contact number listed for each class.

Pre-registration is required for all classes

	Participants are expected to attend all classes when they register for a series.
	Registration fees to reserve your space are due at least one week before the series starts.
	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.
