Training Policies for Child Care Professionals

  • Advanced registration and payment are required for all training events. Registration is accepted online or in-person. If paying in-person, checks or money orders should be made payable to Partners for Children and Families. Payments will not be accepted the day of the training event. 
  • No refund or credit will be provided for no-shows. The registration amount paid will be used for the cost of printing and preparation.
  • A twenty-four (24) hour cancellation notice is required to receive a credit or transfer to another training event. No refund will be provided, however a credit will be issued. Credits are valid for one calendar year. 
  • A minimum of 5 spaces must be filled before a training event will be conducted. If this number is not reached, PfCF reserves the right to cancel the event. Learners will be notified by phone or email of any cancellations and a credit issued or learners transferred to another class. Early registration is strongly encouraged.

  • Participants must attend the entire training event to receive a training certificate. 
  • Children and/or other non-registered guests are not permitted into training events.  
  • No refund or credit will be provided for no-shows. Failure to cancel or “no-shows” for trainings offered at no cost will automatically prohibit you from taking  advantage of future trainings offered at no cost.
