Training Stipends available for Child Care Providers working with Infants & Toddlers

The Infant and Toddler Specialist Network (ITSN) is able to provide training stipends of up to $100 for child care providers who work  with infants, toddlers or two year olds. Stipends are used to offset costs that may hinder caregivers from participating in professional development, such as textbook costs for early childhood college courses, registration fees, CPR & First Aid classes, as well as MAT certification. They are limited to one per person and requests are not to exceed $100.00.

To be considered for a stipend, the provider must complete the attached Stipend Request Form and submit before registering for the training. If the request is approved, then the ITSN will pay the registration cost or expense up to $100.00.

If anyone would like to attend a training or needs text books that cost more than $100.00, the ITSN can pay $100.00 towards the cost.  Stipend requests need to be submitted by the end of March for approval.
