Child Care Aware of New Hampshire, a Child Care Resource and Referral Program of Southern New
Hampshire Services, provides professional development opportunities for early childhood educators
throughout the state of New Hampshire financed under a Contract with the State of NH, Department of
Health and Human Services, Division for Children, Youth, and Families, Child Development Bureau, with funds
provided in part by the State of NH and the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Training registration begins on the 1st of each month. Why? “Training comes first, before the
hours, and that is why registration is the 1st of the month”. Be intentional about your training
selection. Select a training based on your needs and interests.
Registration is online using:
Please note on the training calendar which registration method is required and register accordingly.
Registration Symbols have been added to assist you in determining which method to use. For
information on the NH Professional Registry and to register please visit http://nh.childcareaware.org/.
TRAINING REGISTRATION POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Prior to registering for upcoming trainings, please review the below policies. Individuals are responsible for managing their own professional development and when attending trainings offered through Child Care Aware of New Hampshire they are expected to adhere to the training registration policies as outlined below. We encourage all trainees to select trainings that meet their needs and will support their professional development in a meaningful and intentional way. If you are a center director, we would encourage you to post these policies with the training calendar and consider addressing these at your next staff meeting. We appreciate your support and help as we ensure that trainings offered are well attended and utilized by trainees.
Pre-registration is required. Space is limited, so register as early as possible. Should a session be full, a wait list will be maintained. When space opens up, you will receive an email from Eventbrite or the Registry indicating that you have come off of the wait list. You have 24 hours to respond to this notification and register before your space is offered to someone else.
All training registration is done through Eventbrite or through the NH Professional Registry (Visit www.nh.childcareaware.org for more info. on the Registry). Trainings in Eventbrite are trainings with a cost and trainings available for registration in the NH Professional Registry are at no cost. Please look for registration links on the Training Calendar page to determine how to register.
Training Registration is the 1st of each month. As training comes first, before the hours, our training registration window is the 1st of the month. Please note that the registration window opens regardless of what day of the week it lands on. What is a “training registration window”? A training registration window is when registration opens for a training. When the window is open you can register. Essentially trainings can be registered on a monthly basis.
A minimum of 10 registered people are required to hold a training.
Training information is available through our e-newsletters in a separate Training Calendar e-newsletter announcement and/or through the “Monthly Minutes” and/or “At-A-Glance” editions. Trainings are also posted on our website at www.nh.childcareaware.org, at www.snhs.org and on the NH Professional Registry. To be added to our e-newsletter list, please email [email protected] with Subject Line “E-Newsletter” and include your name, the child care program you work at and the city in which you work.
Training registrations are non-transferable. We do not limit the number of people who register per program. We register the individual, not the program. Please note that if you are not able to attend you cannot replace yourself with another individual, as that is done through our wait list process through Child Care Aware of NH. If you are not able to attend you will need to cancel your registration and withdraw.
If you need to cancel your registration for a training offered in the Registry, please go into your online profile and withdraw from the training. If you do not withdraw by the day of the training, a “no show” will be placed on your training transcript for that training and space won’t open up for those on a potential wait list.
If you need to cancel your registration for a training offered in Eventbrite, there are two methods of cancelling. If the training on Eventbrite had a cost please call the Training and Technical Assistance Line at your local Child Care Aware of NH Regional Outreach Office to cancel. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. If the training on Eventbrite is free, you can cancel your own registration by going into Eventbrite and doing so.
If a training is cancelled by Child Care Aware of NH, all registered participants will be notified via email with the registration information provided. Please check your email prior to attending a training, as sometimes cancellations are last minute.
When a training with a fee is cancelled by Child Care Aware of NH, participants will be refunded their registration fee. Trainings may be rescheduled at the discretion of the Child Care Aware of NH. In this case, participants would need to re-register but would be given priority registration.
Training Registration Fees are non-refundable. Training with a cost must be paid for through Eventbrite.
IMPORTANT!!! Training Registrants are required to arrive to the training prior to the advertised start time of the training. We are unable to accept late arrivals to trainings. To maintain the professional integrity of the training being offered and to respect time of the trainer and trainees, please arrive prior to the start of the training. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Child Care Aware of NH Staff add trainings registered for through Eventbrite into the NH Professional Registry for NH Professional Registry Users. If you register for a paid training or event through Eventbrite, this training will be added to your registry record and you will have it available on your training transcript once you complete the training. You will be getting a confirmation email from Eventbrite with your ticket that you are registered and will also be receiving an email from the Registry indicating that you are enrolled. If you have questions about this, please contact our Professional Development Support Coordinator, Shannon Quinn at 603-323-7091 or one of our regional outreach offices.
The NH Professional Registry’s captures all trainee’s training. The Training Transcript section of each individual Registry User’s account can be printed out and used for documentation purposes. The Registry captures trainee completion under Training History in each trainee’s registry record. This information can be used for proof of attendance for licensing and for credentialing purposes. Simply print it out or send your director an email copy for your file. Training certificates will only be issued at conferences. If you need assistance navigating the Registry please give us a call. We’d be happy to assist you.
Courtesy Training Reminder/Confirmation Calls will not be conducted by Child Care Aware of NH. You are responsible for documenting your training registration, remembering to go and attending the trainings you are registered for.
Child Care Aware of NH reserves the right to revoke training privileges from individuals who do not adhere to these policies and/or act in an inappropriate manner at a Child Care Aware of NH training.
Child Care Aware of NH Trainings will be offered in the months of February to June and August to December. Child Care Aware of NH will not be offering trainings in the months of July, August and January. These months are reserved for provider updates and database maintenance.
When planning your professional development for the year, please keep in mind the following: ○ Full day conferences are offered throughout the year in the months of September, January, March, May and
November. ○ Trainings are not offered in the months of January, July and August. In 2016, trainings in mid-January are being
provided to determine interest. ○ Training topics are scheduled in a six-month time period. We hope to move to an annual training calendar in the
Fall of 2016. Efforts are made to provide training topics throughout the state. If you see a training offered outside of your region in one quarter you will most likely see it offered in your region the next quarter and vice versa pending trainer availability, travel needs and funding.
Thank you in advance for adhering to our policies and helping assist us in establishing a consistent registration
process and quality training experience.
