Do you love children?  The Step Up to Child Care program provides all state requirements to work in child care and puts you on the path to a higher wage or even on the route to opening your own home child care!  In just 16 weeks, participants in this program will earn their CPR/First aid certification, complete mandatory reporter training and the Vermont Orientation Online, build professional and academic skills, complete the Fundamentals for Early Childhood Professionals training, and get job connections in a paid work experience with a local child care provider.  Enrollment is open to residents of Orleans, Essex, and Caledonia counties at no cost to you.  Step Up to Child Care is provided by Northeast Kingdom Learning Services thanks to funding from a federal subrecipient grant: Moving Vermonters Forward.
