North Carolina State Courses
North Carolina stands out by requiring all lead teachers to complete EDU 119 (Introduction to Early Childhood Education) to earn the NC Early Childhood Credential. Beyond that, providers must complete training hours annually based on position and setting. The state also mandates specialized training in shaken baby syndrome, SIDS, and emergency preparedness, tracked through the Workforce Registry and tied closely to NC Pre-K and star-rated licensing systems.
