The Michigan Better Kid Care program envisions all of Michigan's children receiving high-quality care and education so they are ready for school and life. To accomplish this goal, current and new child care providers throughout Michigan will have access to high-quality, evidence-based professional development through MSU Extension. While our delivery method has changed in recent months, Continuing Educational Units (CEU) and other training services for early childhood educators can still be found. There are still some low-cost resources available to the early childhood professionals in our area.See the online resource links below as a quick reference:
