Georgia regulations require that providers take 10 hours of training per year. Homes of Quality requires 25 and The National Association for Family Child Care requires 90 hours of training before accreditation can be awarded. My goal is to complete the Homes of Quality program by December of 2004 and the accreditation process by March of 2005. So far, I have taken the following training courses in addition to CPR and first aid:

	How to Start a Family Child Care Home
