Maryland State Courses

Maryland requires early childhood educators to complete 12 clock hours of professional development annually for continued employment in licensed child care programs. Specific topics must include health and safety, child development, and curriculum planning. Lead teachers must also meet educational benchmarks through the Maryland Child Care Credential Program (MCCCP), a tiered system that offers bonuses and recognition based on training levels.
