Professional development hours are the annual training a state requires each childcare staff member to complete, typically covering health and safety, child development, and mandated reporting. Requirements are per person, per year, and must be evidenced.
Hours usually must come from approved providers, so attendance at an unapproved session may not count.
Because the requirement resets annually and varies by role, tracking it per staff member with expiration alerting is more reliable than an annual audit.
