Enhancing Quality of Early Learning (EQEL) is a 20-hour training series completed over two years. It is broken down into 10 hours each year and builds on content learned in Child Care Basics (CCB.) EQEL also meets annual in-service requirements after CCB is completed.
The EQEL training series is available at no cost for providers hired or promoted after August 1, 2019 into a role that requires this training. This class is also part of PACE, the community-based training option for meeting WAC education requirements. Visit DCYFs Training Requirements webpage or contact your licensor for more information.
EQEL Year 1 includes Part 1: Culturally Responsive Practices and Responsive Caregiving, and Part 2: Brain Building and Executive Function. Child Care Aware/CCAC will be offering EQEL Year 1 self-paced through the DCYF Training Portal this summer. Please be aware that you must complete all online assignments between the start and end date of the course you select.
