To foster the healthy development, safety, well-being, and self-sufficiency of Vermonters. The Department is structured around six Divisions that deliver programs and services to Vermonters; one of those Divisions is the Child Development Division (CDD). CDD’s goal is to increase access to high-quality, sustainable services that are developmentally beneficial for children, strengthen families, and meet their needs, in partnership with families, communities, schools, providers and state and federal agencies. One of the ways that CDD works towards this goal is through quality workforce supports. This includes providing coursework to increase the knowledge of the workforce relevant to working with infants and toddlers, and to support the attainment of qualifications to meet qualification requirements for child care licensing. The courses to be developed through this agreement will be an essential component towards an Infant and Toddler Credential.
