In an effort to support teachers and families, DCDEE and the NC Department of Public Instruction Office of Early Learning have worked collaboratively to gather and create resources to provide weekly learning activities that do not require technology and are aligned to NC standards. Resources are organized by age and grade level. Knowing that children develop and learn at different rates, feel free to look at resources outside of your child’s age or grade level.

The Division of Child Development and Early Education is excited to announce that effective May 1, 2019, electronic transcripts may be submitted for evaluation of educational achievement by current and prospective child care workers.

Effective September 8, 2020, ProSolutions Training will no longer offer the free 24-hour North Carolina health and safety package. Since 2017, ProSolutions Training has partnered with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to offer the free state-approved package. However, DHHS is now offering North Carolina-specific health and safety training through the state’s Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) Moodle learning platform. If you have questions about logging into Moodle, contact Brenda Williamson at brenda.williamson@dhhs.nc.gov for assistance.

To receive the 24-hour health and safety certificate from ProSolutions Training, all courses in this package must be completed by September 30, 2020. Otherwise, your coursework will expire. However, you will still be able to access and print individual course certificates and a transcript of your completed courses through your ProSolutions Training account, which will remain in effect.

Staff in all child care positions must meet minimum education requirements. Previously, Education Evaluation Specialists in the Early Education Branch, Workforce Education Unit of DCDEE, assessed the education of individuals working in child care using paper applications in order to determine their qualifications. WORKS is designed to streamline education evaluation, using a web-based process designed to increase efficiency with which staff can process child care provider applications.
