All child care facilities in Cleburne, Conway, and White Counties that receive public funds of any kind, need one person - preferably two - to become a certified CLASS observer. Family Child Care Homes can call our office to see if this applies to you.
If you are in a different county, you can register below, but understand the three counties named above receive priority. We will let you know if a slot is available for you to attend.
We are currently offering Pre-K Observation Training this Summer with a class scheduled for June, July, and August. Space is limited so we encourage you to register now for the location or date your prefer.
Questions? Contact Amy Pinkston @ apinkston@wrpdd.org or call our office 870-793-5233 or 800-737-2237
