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. 

It is recommended that home providers complete a Just the Facts class before taking ChildNet, and complete the ChildNet series before taking Beyond Business Basics.

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 series.

Pre-registration is required for all classes

You should not begin after the second class of a ChildNet series, but you may make up a class in another location. Payment is due 10 days prior to the first class. Guests, including children, are not allowed in class. If you require special accommodations such as an interpreter, please contact the person taking registrations so she can make arrangements. 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 CCR&R cancels the class. Closing time of all classes is approximate.
