The Child Care Training Institute provides the state mandated training required for employment in a childcare center.

Taking care of children is a full-time charge, and provisions for training individuals for professional, competent childcare are essential. Polk State College provides Florida’s state mandated classes for childcare professionals in Polk, Hardee, and Highland Counties. These mandated courses present the required training necessary for individuals to either work in or own a Child Care Center. The classes address both basic and specialized training, and ensure the high quality of care children deserve.
