Some documents require professional growth activities in order to renew.
The Child Development Training Consortium (CDTC) provides stipends to pay for permit and fingerprint fees for individuals applying for or renewing a Child Development Permit, whether or not the individual is presently employed in a position requiring the permit. Due to budget reductions, the permits that are eligible for reimbursement will vary from year to year. Please visit the Child Development Training Consortium website for the most current information.
