Health & Safety for Legally Exempt Providers

Foundations in Health & Safety Training is a new federal requirement. Legally exempt child care providers who are applying to be paid by the Department of Social Services must complete the training before their application can be complete. Employees, volunteers, and anyone with the potential for regular and substantial contact with children must also take the training. Failure to complete the training may result in a denial of the provider’s enrollment application.
