Forty participants at the Otero County Regional Early Care and Education Conference acquired 2-5 (depending on the county) continuing education hours to keep their employment as child care providers.
The Home Economist in Lea County reported that staff from 14 of the 69 child care centers attended the annual Child Care Givers Workshop. Participants were from Roosevelt, Chaves, Eddy, and Lea Counties, as well as Gaines County, Texas. Evaluation forms from each of the workshops showed a knowledge gain by the majority of participants. Ninety-nine percent of those providers who completed the Penn State Better Kid Care training needed the necessary credit hours to keep their child care provider’s license. Twenty percent of those providers were new employees in the daycare and needed supplemental training prior to beginning their job.
